Buying a Computer

When buying a computer in todays market a person should understand a computers components to be able to get the best components for the least of their dollar. There are many things to consider when you buy a computer, here are some of the main components to think on. First thing is the computers processer, a central processing unit(cpu) main purpose is to run your computer. The better the processor the faster you can do stuff on your computer. The next thing is an operating system, in most cases you would want the newest operating system. Another crucial component is a computers memory, memory is called RAM in computer. RAM stands for random acess memory, this means that the more RAM your computer has the more progams you can run and the faster you can run them. RAM is measured in Giga Bites, their are roughly 1000 mega bites per one giga bite, and a progam takes up a given amount of mega bites and the more progams you have running the slower your computer can run, depending on the amount of RAM it has. Ram also determines how fast you can open and close a progam. A good amount of memory would be about 4 giga bites (gb). One of the most important components is probably Hard Drive, the hard drive stores all of the programs and saved files on it. Hard drive is also measured in giga bites, depending on the amont of files you have and how much mega bites or giga bites they contain, a safe amount of hard drive would be about 250gb to 350gb. If you want some kind of an idea to scale how much hard drive memory would be logical, one song that is about 2-3 minutes equals about 3 mega bites.
