Hey everyone. I'm not too knowledgable (sp) on computers. I would like to buy a nice convenient and cost efficient desktop computer. I do not know what I would need to efficiently run programs, stay up to date, among all the other things. I know that I want an HP desktop. A decent amount of memoery( i take a lot of pics) a good processor speed and a decent amount of RAM. Anyone offer anything I should look for?

A gig-2 gigs should be plenty of memory, and any size hard drive u need. most come with 200+ which should be more than enough. price?

Well.. first you should let us know what EXACTLY you use your machine for.. if it's just word processing and net.. or whatnot. Then a budget you have in mind. That would be a good start. Umm not a lot? I'm a poor college student.... lol -------------------- |
