Reference Tools - Looking for a computer?

Are you disappointed when you are buying your new computer or do you prefer to design it by yourself? What you are looking for may be a workstation, it is a personal computer recommend for those who are filming, photo designing or multitasking. It sound like a very good computer to you but it also mean a big budget. The average of their cost could be more than five thousand dollars for every equipement you need. Workstation can be good if you are building a business company but it is not recommended for gaming. Such video cards, as Nvidia Quadro or a ATI FireGL, are two time more expensive then a gaming video cards.

You may look for a gaming computer, which is more powerful then your old basic pc that should be trashed for a long time ago. These computer have more RAM (Random Access Memory), bigger Hard Drive, great processors, and a very good video cards. This years, the gaming computer cost will skyrocket due to the release of Microsoft Windows Vista and new video cards and chipset from ATI and Nvidia. Recently, the Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX and GTS cost more than five hundred dollars in the market.
When you are building a computer be sure the processor socket match with the motherboard socket. If the processor use a socket AM2, I'm sure you wont be stupid enough to fit in a socket 939. If you feel that your computer is overheating be sure to look in your bios his temperature. (CTRL + DEL before your boot). Adding some extra cooling fan would be nice. Be sure to buy the right type of RAM, a 2gb of ram would be necessary if you are ready to use Microsoft Windows Vista. 256 MB Video Card would be enough to run the Vista. Here is some useful website that could help you to build a perfect computer:
Remember that building a computer cost less than buying an alienware, which cost you a few thousand bucks. ~Netkore
