Computer Guru's .......... bit of advice please

(1/2) > >>

CrewCab:
There must be lots on here far more knowledgeable about computers than me so I might as well pick the "collective's" brains  :smart:

Basically, I rebuilt one computer about 18 months back and it's been nothing bit a PITA since  :bang: .............. OK I realise that's one of the main functions of a 'puter  ::)

but .....................  for a new machine it's always run at a snail's pace ........... to be fair I think the biggest mistake was using a Celeron chip   :hammer: ............. I've used AMD's for a good few years and always been happy, local computer store I always use recommended this one so that's why ........... anyway ......... enough said the Celeron chip is going on holiday ..... in the wheelie bin

but, just to avoid another mistake can anyone offer a bit of advice.

The hardest work the machine will do is a bit of 2D AutoCad and large spreadsheets, no games .......ever

I was looking at these 2,

Clicky 1

Clicky 2

the obvious difference is one comes in a case  ......... even I spotted that one :lol:

but I suspect the slightly dearer one will be a lot better ................ but if anyone can advise me I'd appreciate it

Ta chaps  :coffee:

they still are memory and processing hogs.

Dave,

If you wanted a full ready built system, I have been recommending these to a few people. I tell them to get the extra memory fitted up to 4GB.

Never had one complaint, and they are super fast for the price.

I used to build for myself and other people, but I just couldn't compete for the price these people are charging.

Dave, I think both those applications will go better with more memory so I second John's recommendation for a 4GB machine.

BTW,  I note that recent versions of Winderz can utilise USB memory sticks as system memory?   I have never tried it but maybe that would make a difference even to your present machine.
