when did shopping for a new computer get difficult?

Posted by dogbert183 Nov 29 '08, 16:36

I remember it being so easy to figure out how much power you had because the names of the part told you. (i.e. pentium 4 3.00 GHz)

now it's dual processor with the name of the company.

my least favorite is the graphics cards. I have no idea how good they are by the current names. I feel so lost.

end of rant

Are you gaming? If not, you don't care about the graphics card. - Subversive Nov 29, 16:55 1
- yea, the reason I ned the upgrade is because the newer games are too much for my 5+ year old pc to handle - dogbert183 Nov 29, 17:01
don't feel bad, I'm pretty much lost in today's hardware market too. My next comp will probably be a mac. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 16:38 1

Graphics cards are easy. The more expensive the better the card. -- nm - Redmond Go Ducks!!!! Nov 29, 16:37 1
