Jaki mozna kupic komputer - 22/09/2000

1)	Processor.  Przecietnie to mozna juz kupic pentium komputery czyli 
		    mozna latwo dostac Pentium Celerony, Pentium II, 
		    Pentium III, Pentium 4, oraz AMD-K6.  Jezeli masz Pentium 60MHZ, 
		    75MHZ, 100MHZ i czasami 133MHZ to juz bedziesz
		    musial/la kupic tez nowa motherboard.  Najlepiej to isc 
		    do Pentium III albo Celeron 533MHZ zeby sie komputer tak 
		    nie nagrzewal. Cena jest okolo $250 za AMD-K6 oraz 
		    Pentium III a za Celeron jakies $160. Niedawno zostaly 
		    popularne zostaly Pentium 4 pomiedzy 1.0 GH (gigahertz) do 
		    2.0 GH.

2)	Pamiec komputerowa (RAM - Random Access Memory).  Dzisiejsze 
		    komputery przychodza juz z 64MB pamieci ale najlepiej to
		    miec przynajmniej 128MB poniewaz jezeli chcesz kupic 
		    Windows ME oraz nowe OS (operating system) do IBM
		    to wiecej pamieci tym lepiej. 256MB kosztuje okolo $40.

3)	Monitor.    Przecietnie w nowych systemach komputerowych, monitory
		    przychodza na 14" (inche) ale najlepiej to miec 17" lub
		    wiekszy poniewaz wieksze maja lepsze rezolucje. 17" 
		    monitor kosztuje jakies $130. 

4)	Karta graficzna.  Przecietnie to juz mozna dostac PCI oraz AGP karty 
		    graficzne z 8MB pamieci.  To jest najlepsze dla ludzi,
		    ktorzy nie graja w 3D gry.  Jak grasz 3D gry to wiecej 
		    pamieci to lepiej np 32MB pamieci.  Nie kupuj karty
		    graficznej ktora musi brac pamiec z komputera a nie ma 
		    na sobie.  8MB karta wynosi okolo $39.99 do $49.99 a 
		    32MB karta wynosi okolo $99.99.

5)	Twardy dysk.  Wiekszosc komputerow przychodzi z 17GB i rownie z 20GB
		    pamiecia twardego dysku czyli nie trzeba narazie zmieniac
		    niczego ale jak masz 4.3GB twardy dysk to mozna go 
		    zmienic na cos kolo 10GB.  Zwlaszcza przychodz w 7200RPM 
		    (szybkosc) Wiecej nie trzeba.  Teraz mozna kupic 15GB 
		    twardy dysk za okolo $109 a za 30GB za okolo $129.Western 
		    Digital cennik.

6)	CD-ROM.	    Wiekszosc komputerow przychodzi z 40X (X-szybkosc).  To 
		    jest w sam raz ale jak masz ponizej 32X to mozna to 
		    zamienic na 32X i powyzej.  Jak kupujesz 50X i wyzej to 
		    sprawdz czy jest noise reductend.  Teraz mozna kupic 
		    CD-ROM za okolo $49.99.  Teraz to mozna dostac CD-RW (8X 
                    4X 32) oraz DVD.

7)	Karta dzwiekowa.  Przewaznie komputery maja Sound Blaster karty ktore
		    ida za oklo $29-$99.

8)	Modem.      Przewaznie teraz komputery maja albo DSL modem (okolo
		    400MB na sekunde) oraz 56kbs (5.6MB per sekunde). 
		    Przewaznie najlepsze sa 56kbs modemy gdzie DSL nie zawsze
		    mozna uzywac.  Jak masz stary komputer gdzie nie mozna
		    uzyc modemy ktore mozna wlozyc do srodka (internal) to 
		    musisz kupic zewnterzny (external).  Internal modem 
                    kosztuje okolo $39 a external to $99.  USRobotics tylko
		    jest kosztowny okolo $89 za internal i za external jakies
		    $149 to tylko mozna sie nim podlaczyc na 19.9kbps na 56k 
		    mode. NIE RADZE GO KUPOWAC. Najlepszy modem jest z 
 		    Diamond ale trudno go zainstalowac o ile sie nie znasz na 
		    komputerach

			    What kind of computer to buy - 9/22/2001

1)	Processors.  Today we can buy pentium computers which can be either
		    Celeron, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4 and also AMD-K6 to which
		    we can buy easily processor to replace the old ones.
		    If you still own an old system like  Pentium 60MHZ, 
		    75MHZ, 100MHZ and sometimes 133MHZ you should think about
		    upgrading your motherboard.  The best processor that you
		    should upgrade to is PIII or Celeron 533MHZ.  Any higher
		    may resolve with the system to heat up unless you have 
		    very good heatsink for the processor.  The prices are 
		    between $250 to $300 for PIII and AMD and for Celeron 
		    about $150. Letaly the most popular processors are running
		    between 1.0 GH (gigahertz) to 2 GH.
		 
2)	RAM	    Today's computer mostly come with 64MB of RAM, but the 
		    best to have about 128MB of RAM because newer OS's and 
		    games requires more RAM. 256MB costs about $40.  

3)      Monitor.    The new systems come with 14" monitors (but 17" if it is 
		    bought from a private company).  It is better to have 17" 
		    or better because the resolution is higher for a 3D 
		    games.  17" monitors costs about $130.

4)	Video Card.	Now the new system comes with either PCI or AGP card
		    which might have 8MB of RAM.  This is ok for those people
		    who do not play 3D games but if you play 3D games then you 
		    should get at least card with 32MB of RAM.  Do not buy
		    a card that shares the memory from the motherboard.  
		    8mb IS ABOUT $39-$49 AND 32MB card is about $99.

5)	Hard Dysk.  Most computers come with a 17GB and sometimes 20GB but if
		    you have a 4.3GB hard drive then you should probably 
		    change to 10GB or above hard drive.  They are usually 
                    faster about 7200 RPMS.  The 15GB hard drive costs about 
                    $109 and a 30GB costs about $129. Western Digital pricing.

6)	CD-ROM.	    Most computers come with a 40X CD-ROM, but if you have a
		    CD-ROM below 32X then you should get a faster CD-ROM 
		    that is 32X or faster.  If you want to buy a CD-ROM 
		    that is faster than 50X make sure that it is noise 
		    reductend.  CD-ROMs usually costs about $49.99. Now a days
		    most computers will come with CD-RW (at least 8X 4X 32X) and
		    at least DVD player.

7)	Sound Card.  Mostly computers come with a Sound Blaster cards which 
		    which prices ranges are between $29-$99.

8)	Modem.	    New computers come with DSL modem (which has the speed of
		    400MB per second) or 56kbs. DSL is not prefered because 
		    most of the time they cannot be used.  56K modem can be 
		    bought as an internal or external modem.  If you have 
		    old computer that cannot use internal modem than you 
		    should get an external modem.  The internal modem cost
	            about $39 and external about $99. USRobotics modems are
		    not prefered because they are very slow (about 19.9 kbs 
		    for 56K modem) and very expensive about $89 for internal
		    and about $149 for external.  Modems from Diamond are the
		    best, but are very hard to reinstall if you do not know how.
