It's that time of year when you may be purchasing a computer as a holiday gift for someone.
And the question always comes up, what specs should I look for. So here's a rundown of the important components you want:
Laptops -
* Centrino 2 chipset technology
* 15" screen size
* at least 2GB of RAM
* Video card memory of 256MB
Desktops -
* Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2 or Turion X2
* 64-bit Vista OS
* at least a 17" Widescreen flat panel
* at least 2GB of RAM
* Video card memory of 256MB
As far as hard drives, get as large a drive as you can afford. Nowadays, it's easy to fill 250GB.
64-bit versions of Vista operating system allows your PC to recognize 4GB of RAM or more. But beware that the 64-bit version may not be compatible with older programs and peripherals. If that's a concern, go with the 32-bit version.
If you are a high-end user, you may need a real workhorse, which means more RAM, more video card memory and faster chipset.
That should be enough to point you in the right direction.
