Computers in English
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Processor Intel/AMD
Unless you are doing complex scientific planetary research, chip speed is not important. Their is little difference between say 2600 & a 3200, apart from cost!! Also ensure it is 64-bit on all desktops.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
CD/DVD
These days, if it does not have a DUAL CD/DVD rewriter, DO NOT buy it.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Graphics Card
This is what makes the computer fly, not the actual processor. Make sure it PCI-Express with a minimum of a Nvidia 6200 or Radeon X300.
DO NOT buy onboard graphics (sometimes called integrated).
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
LCD Monitors
DO NOT be fooled by price, most of the very cheap ones have very small resolutions. You want a minimum of 1280x1024. 17" screen (1280x800 15.4" on a laptop), and response 16ms (this ensures no screen blur)
.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Memory
You need a MINIMUM of 512MB, any less your computer will slow, and cause extra wear & tear on the hard drive.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Hard Drive
HD's are very cheap these days, but you should still get at least 80GB.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Warranties
NEVER purchase an extended warranty, they are not worth the paper they are printed on. The seller is just after commission. Extend your home insurance to cover it.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Notebooks/Laptops
Make sure they contain a mobile chip if you will be carrying it around, otherwise battery life suffers. If not a desktop chip us acceptable.

CD Computer Towers
Message from the Managing Director - Keith Driscoll
"So you are looking for a cheap computer, that is reliable, upgradeable, contains everything you want, CD, DVD, latest processor, good graphics?
I have spent 20 years involved in computers, building, selling, buying, programming, networking and generally anything else you can do with them. I know them inside out; which is the best computer, the most reliable laptop, must have parts and gadgets, and I am constantly surfing the Internet keeping an eye on prices to ensure I get my customers the best deal.
So as I had a few hours to spare I decided to set up a site to ensure the public got the best deal available today, and offer it for FREE.
Never let adverts or a salesman blind you with science, they only want your money, and 95% have not got a clue what they are on about. I know, I question them on technical issues when I fancy a good laugh, when they obviously do not know the answer so just waffle hoping to confuse you in to a sale.!
I tell you exactly what you get for your money, what I think of the computer or laptop, and I only put those on here that I would use myself, and sell to my customers who would go elsewhere if I was recommended rubbish. So it is in my interest to ensure that I only offer what I know is the best value for money TODAY." |

Basic system price:
from
£316.07
|
|
|
My opinion: Excellent specs for the price. A dual-core, 1/160GB machine at £330 has to be great value. Is not overloaded with random useless programs that you never use which is great.
|
|
|
Core 2 Duo at an incredible price!
£469.98 inc vat |
|
My opinion: Well built and with all the ports you will ever need. The screen is clear, and the fact the price is for a DUO core system is pretty much all the power you will need for years to come.
