Powering up a Desktop PC

By Matthew Kerridge

Working with your desktop PC is an adventure all in itself. Setting it up is easy. The parts consist of a CPU, monitor, keyboard, and a mouse. You can select from a high tower or choose a small form model, while the tower generally sits on the floor the small form is placed on the desk.

The desktop PC is stationary and is set up in a specific location. It is used regularly and is known as a personal computer. They come in various styles ranging in size from small to large. There is also something called the all in one and it is made just as the name infers.

When shopping for a PC you need to know what you are buying it for. You may want to surf the web to shop or use an e-mail service, or simply create documents. Whatever the expectations you have with your PC it can be obtained at a reasonable price.

If you are pretty stationary, a desktop PC would probably be the better choice for your lifestyle. Laptops are good for those on the run, who require computer access wherever they may find themselves. Sometimes it is good to have both if one can afford it.

If your computer is your life and you are a more seasoned user, you probably need and want more power and speed. This is especially true for Gamers. Great choices would be the top five PC's currently on the market. Take a look at the Cyber-power Gamer, Micro Express Micro, Poly-well Poly, The Gateway, and the XI MTower.

These computers all boast the latest technology, and provide superior performance. Another thing that you will want to consider is the processing potential of the PC. If it is only for basic use any processor will suffice. If you are looking for more power in a processor take a look at Intel. Intel's core 2 duo chip is leading the market over AMD.

A brain without memory is unthinkable. And so is the same for a computer, which is like a brain. Make sure that the computer you choose is equipped with enough memory for the functionality that it is expected to perform. If need be memory can always be updated.

Which is better, a laptop or desktop PC? It boils down to your lifestyle, and your purpose for owning a computer. One thing is for sure, whichever is right for you will have you on your way to reaching out to the world and staying on top of today's technology. - 30431
