Computer Parts
April 9th, 2007 | ComponentsComputer parts are the heart of a modern personal computer. Computer parts make your system breath. The wrong computer parts make your life frustrating. The right computer parts make your computer a life-long friend. Being able to choose computer parts are what make Personal Computers so great. This is a distinct advantage over many other electronics and other computers like Apples, in that all the computer parts can be chosen, switched, upgraded and changed to suit the kind of tasks you want to perform with your computer.
Although you may buy a computer pre-assembled, it is really just a manufacturers choice of computer parts bundled into a case to make it look snappy, and with their logos. But the computer parts that it is made of can be bought seperately from any computer parts wholesaler online.
I, personally, would sum up computer parts as those parts that would be essential for a computer to function and includes basically all the stuff inside the computer case.
Those computer parts include the computer case, computer processor, motherboard, power supply, fans and cooling fins, hard drives, optical drives, floppy drives, cables, any cards you could put into your computer and the case itself.
These computer parts make up almost everything.
Choosing the right computer parts can make the difference between a frustrating experience and the situation where you hardly notice your computer at all, because it does everything you want, just like it should.
A computer processor should never be the fastest available, there is just no value for money there. It should not be so old as to make you pull your hair out waiting while its “thinking.” If you do need the fastest then take the plunge, but for almost all everyday tasks, my AMD Athlon 800MHz still does the trick, and costs almost nothing compared to the latest processors. Considering dual-core? This new technology offers very little benefits for you everyday office computing experience because your software isn’t designed for it, give it a few years if you’re patient.
The motherboard is the link between all the other computer parts in the computer and should have as much built-in as possible. Computer parts such as network capabilities and sound should be built-in, unless you are a producer of some kind. I chose my motherboard because of its SATA RAID options, making it a little more expensive, but offering protection from data loss, in case of a hard drive failure.
Memory is one of the computer parts that yields great speed returns for you dollar. With power hungry Vista needing over 1GB of memory to perform well, you will have vast improvements with a little more memory than the premium of a slightly faster processor.
Your computer power supply pumps life into your system, it should be reliable and stable. The no-name brand you might find in a pre-built system gives the computer better value, but its just a matter of time before it gives up the ghost.
