HOW TO BUY A DESKTOP PC

PROCESSOR
: for office productivity and basic internet tasks, most any processor will do. But if u wanted more power, Intel Pentium 4 and Amd Athlon XP which is  the best, compared wih Celeron or Duron. Either P4 or the Athlon XP can support even most demanding work, such as video editing or high resolution games. AMD (Athlon XP BARTON) has won of  "cache up' with Intel. Amd processor now top out at Athlon XP 3000+ clocked at 2.167Ghz ( Barton ) and Intel  processor, Pentium 4 clocked at 3.06Ghz. To pay a lowwer price. you'll have to sacrifice graphics performance and hard drive size. note : Nex generation AMD chips CLAWHAMMER, will also have a faster, more pipeline into main memory.

MOTHERBOARD : Recommended getting a system with newer board with higher-speed FSB (533mhz for Pentium4, 400mhz for Celeron and 333mhz for Athlon XP) . Motherboard with integrated sound so common and the latest models support 6channel digital sound chips. You need to disable the integrated sound from the jumper or bios setting if you need to add a sound card. If you plan to run the latest 3D games or want to add TV captured device (TV tuner), you should avoid to have integrated graphic or make sure your motherboard includes an AGP slot . Most todays motherboard comes with USB devices and deliver 8 to 12 times faster performance with USB2.0. And todays mobo, mostly integrated with Lan 10/100 ethernet. note : For those Pentium 4 2.4ghz and below on motherboard with FSB@533/400 only  clocked @ 400FSB.

MEMORY : PC133 SDRAM, , DDR SDRAM(PC200 / 266 / 333 and 400 mhz), RDRAM (known as RAMBUS) speed ranging from 600mhz to 1Ghz. Use only the tested and qualified DIMMs for your motherboard or your system may unstable. Please consult with your vendor.

HARDDISK : 20GB 5,400rpm are  fine for the majority of tasks, unless  if you plan to work with large amount of graphic files/applications, database, video and music. It is because 30mins uncompressed digital video takes up nearly 6.5gb, while 250four-mins MP3s ar 128kbps use over 1Gb. note : recommended harddisk with ATA133 speed up at 7,200rpm.

GRAPHICs : ATI and nVidia generally offer the best 3D performance (depending on what purpose you'll using the card) . You may no need the most expensive and powerfull model just to run the 3D application. PC games look best when running at 60frames per second. To play direct X 8 games , you'll need a chip that supports DirectX 8 hardware acceleration. Not all graphic card stable with all motherboard or  operating system, Get details and read reviews of the  motherboard or graphic card that  you choose before buying them.. note : dont spend your money on features you dont need, unless you're planning to capture and edit digital video.

SOUND : Most of the motherboard comes with integrated sound.You may disable the integrated sound and add at minimum price RM70 for the additional sound card.

REMOVABLE  : 52x CDRom drive, minimum 24x CD-RW, ZIP drives, DVD-Rom


COMMUNICATIONs : Modem (56.6kpbs) for home user is a must or ethernet card for business. To connect your PCs to the network you need a router, switch or hub. Remember, you need to have an internet account (TMnet, Jaring etc) 

SOFTWARE :  Windows 95,98SE, Millenium Edition, 2000 Pro, win XP Home, win XP Pro and Linux. Please read carefully the requirement needs and instruction on how to  install the operating system into your machine.

WARRANTY & TECHNICAL : All hardware comes with 1year limited warranty except 3years for the CPU chips (in Malaysia). Some vendors offer 1 year on-site support (with terms and conditions applied).
