Tips for Picking a New Computer December 24, 2007
Posted by Eli Blumenthal in : Computers , 1 comment so farAs the holiday sales continue and computers go on sale, here a couple of things to consider when getting a new computer (desktop or laptop):
1. At least 2 GB of RAM if you are getting Vistas’ Premium, Business, or Ultimate, and Mac OS X Leopard. If you are getting Vista Basic 2 GB will not hurt especially if you want to upgrade later to a higher version of Vista.
