Cheap & good computer gear & advice
i researched 4 someone this gear
i found it 2 b so cool cos it's cheap
n good!
should b abt 2 give e up market computers
a run 4 their money
sorry if it's AMD for u Intel fans.
i support e underdog
MAIN BOARD
ASUSTEK AMD SLI DELUXE (nForce4-SLI) Socket 939
PROCESSOR
AMD ATHLON 64 3000+
CD-ROM RW/DVD
BENQ (52x32x52x+16x)
GRAPHICS
ASUSTEK EXTREME n6600GT 128mb DDR
RAM (check for motherboard compatibility with the vendor)
2 PIECES OF 512mb
HARD DISK
MAXTOR DIAMOND MAX PLUS9 120GB
ALL WITH CASING SHOULD B LESS THAN $1500
If you want anything else u jus buy lo
e above comes w/o monitor/printer etc
cos it's assumed one jus wants a better system
not peripherals
actually
e trick tat not many ppl noe
is jus 2 add more ram
& add a better graphics card
even if ur system today is 3 years old
get 1-2 gb of ram
costin only around $200
ur computer can fly 4 another 2 years i tik
other things lik maintenance is impt 2.
get at least 3 anti-spywares
(recommended - spybot, adaware, microsoft antispyware)
get a firewall
get a windows SP2
virus scan once a wk
anti-spyware everyday
disk scan weekly
disk defrag weekly
delete large useless stuff (bye bye porn... *sobs*)
when settin up a new comp
i'm not experienced in doin tat
but i noe wat a computer should hav after it's first burst of life
hav 2 hard disks is ideal
partition ur hard disk
download ALL windows update asap
or use a CD burned with those updates
reason being if it's exposed 2 e real world w/o em
it's lik a naked baby.
it's a myth tat opera or fire fox is more secure
it's jus not bein hacked into as often as microsoft.
