How to Choose a Computer for the Office or Study?

Choose their own Computer for the office or School: Tips for choosing the device. Selection parameters: processor speed, amount of RAM and hard drive, etc.

If among your preferences related studies, but not active computer games, or if your boss does not like the use principally multimedia applications in the workplace, then you need an affordable and functional computer at the same time, which does not cost much and are mainly intended for documentations. In this case, the computer processor should only have a performance that is required to run an office or academic work.

For example, they may be a 64-bit AMD or Intel processor. In any case, we are talking about the processor, the frequency of which does not exceed 2.2 GHz. Note that it is the processor speed is critical when you are working at the same time opens up many applications, such as Excel, Word, Outlook, Access, etc., as well as the active use of resources Internet. When working with large data sets (games and other multimedia) processor must be pretty fast. In our case, it is not too important, although it is desirable in any, not "underestimate the bar" CPU frequency lower than 2200MHz.

For an office PC version can be employed motherboard has integrated audio and video: integrated solutions are usually cheaper, and they quite efficient for simple tasks. Speaking of memory, today the use of memory, less than the rate of 1024 Mb, is simply indecent, both from the point of performance (i.e., the same speed), and from the point of view of the movement with the times. Practice has proved that just mainly the RAM affects the actual performance of the computer than the actual processor speed.

Consequently, the best option would be the size of "RAM" to 2048 Mb. The use of a hard drive that has a volume of less than 160 Gb, is also not rational, since earlier or later the hard drive with the capacity to be completely full, even if you work only office applications, documents, and media files small. Acceptable option for our case - a disc having a volume of 250 Gb.

Equipment optical drive (reader / writer drive) is now not only sufficient, but often just a necessary condition for PC. At the same time, it is good to have been able to read / write to DVD-format - similar to the amount of media stored information is greatly increased, which is important from the point of distribution and storage.
