The Price of Memory Went Down.

    The price of computer memory is as low as I can remember. That makes it a good time to buy more memory. It's also a good time to buy a computer. With Windows XP requiring more memeory and more speed and memory and computer prices low this is a good time to replace an old computer.

    You can save even more if you economize where you can. I don't mean compromise, economize. I have seen many, especially small businesses, overspend for their computer needs. It makes sense for graphics intense users, or for those providing networking to get the fastest computers possible. But if you use your computers for word processing, spreadsheets, databases, accounting, email, etc., how fast do they have to be. You will pay a large premium for the three fastest CPU's that any manufacturer makes.  Or you could save by buying a computer with an AMD CPU. That should save you a few dollars on the new computer from the price of one using an Intel CPU that compares in performance. I've used AMD CPU's since 1994 and never found one to be anything less than tops in performance, and dependably.  You could even specify the fastest CPU and that would be an AMD Athlon not an Intel Pentium,at least until Intel introduces their next CPU's,(accdording to many CPU speed/performance tests). For more information about the AMD Athlon click here for AMD.  For speed/performance tests on almost any CPU click here for the CPU Scorecard.
