Buying a PC
I use a Mac for all my real work, but I keep a PC
in my office to play games on. (It's my
job!)
My PC has gotten kind of
obsolete, even though it's eighteen months newer than the Mac I just replaced.
So the newer PC games I play are basically, "Doom, the strategy game." Two
frames per second, that sort of thing. So I'm going to ramp up. Usually I just
upgrade the processor or video card, but this time I'm going to go for the whole
kaboodle.
Buying a PC is complicated!
AMD or Intel? Chipset 915 or 925? Socket 775 or 478? ATI or nVIDIA? DDR or
DDR2? PCI or PCIe? No wonder people just buy what the salesman tells them
to.
It bugs me that all the cheapest
hardware resellers are in California, so I have to pay sales tax.
