Hope you can help me choose the right PC. It’s mainly for home use (email, downloading music, website design, photoshop and some heavy maths software that my hubby is using). I’ve got three different ones in mind and max. GBP1,000 (roughly $1800) to spend on it (including 17” TFT monitor).
I’ll give you some details of each one so you can let me know what you would go for it you were me:
SONY VAIO RS502
P4 HT – 3.0 GHz – 512Mb RAM – CD/DVD-R – Graphs 128Mb ATI9200 – 160GB hard disk – Media cards 8 in 1 – No sound card (!) – Speakers – iLink – 7 USB ports – 1 parallel port
HP T645UK
P4 HT – 2.8 GHz – 512 Mb – DVD/CD-R – Graphs 128 Mb NVIDIAFX5200 – 160 GB – Media cards 9 in 1 – wireless mouse and keyboard – firewire – 7 USB 2.0 – 1 parallel
DELL DIMENSION 4700
P4 HT – 3 GHz – 512 Mb Dual Channel DDr2 400 Mhz – DVD-R – Graphs ??? – 160 Gb serial ATA HD with 8MB databurst cache – Firewire – no sound card - no info re. USB ports.
They’re all at about the same price so any opinions would be very welcome!!!
Also while you’re at it, I have a silly question: can I burn music cds on DVDR devices?
Thanks.
