i want to buy new computer what is the best configuration?

There is no 'best' configuration overall.  The 'best' configuration is based on your specific needs and requirements of a system.\n\n"What will I use my computer for?" is the main question.  If you plan to do simple web-browsing - maybe some desktop publishing, you can save some money by purchasing a budget processor such as a Celeron or Sempron system.\n\nMany power users will suggest dual core processors and 64 bit with the latest graphics cards, etc.  This may not be necessary for you.\n\nStorage comes into play.  How much hard drive space will you need.  If you are not big on downloading a lot of programs and P2P file sharing, torrents, ripping movies and music, etc, then a drive in the 80GB range should be WAY more than enough space.\n\nThe amount of RAM needed is decided by how much multi-tasking you plan to do.  How many programs will you need to have open all at once to complete any tasks you regularly plan to do with your system?\n\nIf you want the ability to burn CDs and DVDs, you will want an optical drive capable of such.  For example a DVD-R/RW drive can read, write, and rewrite to DVD-RW, read and write to DVD-R, and read DVD.  Same for CDs of the same suffix.\n\nDo you own a digital camera and would like to edit images on your computer?  Then you may want to get a digital media reader.  Some printers have them built in, so having it installed in the computer may not be necessary if you get this type of printer, but it is more convenient than having to turn on the printer to upload images.  There are also external media readers available that plug in through USB.\n\nIf you plan on having internet, you will need a modem for dialup, or an ethernet network adapter for broadband.  The network adapter doesn't have to be an expansion.  It can be built directly onto the motherboard.\n\nHope this helps.  Of course there are many other factors that affect performance of a system rather than those listed above, but I figured this information irrelevant to your question.  Good luck.

Try buying a Intel or Dell. Also, try Yahoo! Searching for mainframe computers.

There is a utility available on http://cnet.com where you can browse thru the available options as per your requirement.  The path is as follow:\nhttp://exactchoice.cnet.com/Type.aspx\nFor quick reference, 512MB RAM, 60GB HDD and Windows XP SP2 should be fine for Home use.  Can buy any Acer, Dell, HP laptop.  They will be cheap and durable.

Go for a branded PC of HP or Dell.\n\nYou should look for P4 2.88Ghz or 3Ghz with 1 GB of RAM, 17" SVGA monitor, 180GB of HDD, Built in NIC with at least 32MB of video ram.

Look to your local PC stores and get one built - you'll be able to get it built to best suit your needs and it will save you a bundle. You don't need to be some sort of computer expert - they should take however much time is needed to sit down with you and go through all your options. \n\nDoing this will give you a computer to rival anything off the shelf, it will no be weighed down with a whole heap of proprietary/3rd party software which you'll never use (and will slow down most systems anyhow), and will save on the wallet, which means you'll be able to afford to get the bells and whistles which otherwise would have been out of your price-range.\n\nOh, and just a tip in regards to Vista - get the full copy on disc. Will save a lot of headaches in the future if you ever have to reformat your system

Go with the HP NX6325 at www.stupidcheapcomputers.net.  I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.\n\nMicrosoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January.  It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released.  The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).\n\nAnyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer.  You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926.  That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.\n\nI have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding.  Those guys blow my mind.\n\nGood luck!

Unfortunately this computer is so old, that even the case itself and power supply will not be compatible with new parts.\n\nAlso, it will be cheaper to buy a new computer.  If you don't need lots of tech support, then get a computer cheaply from http://www.pricewatch.com \n\nThere are lots of system builders out there that will sell you a basic computer with Windows XP Home or Pro for a pretty reasonable price.\n\nWhen getting a new computer:  Pay a little more (not too much more)  and get one with 512MB RAM, SATA Harddrive  (It will say SATA...if it doesn't say Serial ATA or SATA, then it isn't SATA).\n\nIf you aren't going to use it for games, then you don't really have to worry much about the video card.

Buy hardware from newegg, definitely the cheapest and incredibly fast and reliable shipping.

Pros:\nYou get the latest hardware and software.\nYou get  warranty.\nYou do not need to worry about compatibility issues with other hardware that you might wish to purchase.\n\nCons:\nIt's going to get outdated in 6 months anyway.\nIt may be a whole lot of money wasted if you need only basic functionality.\nIf an old computer is working, but out of warranty it probably won't go bad in the near future.\n\nThe verdict: If you are looking to play the latest game, do the most fashionable thing with a computer that others are doing today go ahead and buy the latest and the best model.\n\nIf your needs are more basic, if you want to do some serious work on the machine save money by investing in a cheaper, older model that works.

Your question is very general, so I'll give you a general answer:  \nAssuming you have an I.B.M. compatible PC type computer, \nin the BIOS setup menus, there is often a place\nin newer mainboards, to adjust the system clock speed and\nmany other hardware functioning details.  My advice is to\nnot mess with the systems clock speed.  It's just a business\ngimmick to get game-happy youth to burn-out their mainboards and buy a second one.   If you want ultimate speed for gaming, then buy the latest fast system, for that game, as recommended by others with experience on the internet.  You'll still pay a lot, but the system will last.\nNow, having given you the best answer, I'll give you the\nexperimental answer:  Not all mainboards (in BIOS setup)\ngive you much control over the system clock.  If you want to experiment, buy a motherboard that has this \ncapacity, then also buy the latest case/system for \nrefrigerating your computer (seriously, the colder-dryer, the better).  Then\nyou might be able to obtain a fast system that lasts.  Of course, you should buy the best/fastest video card too. But, since your question was very general, I doubt \nthat you're into experimenting right now.

Http://www.TigerDirect.com  sells good priced PC products.\n\nI've used them happily for almost 10 years.  You will need to find out if you have a:\n\nPCI-express slot,\nAGP-slot, \nor just a regular PCI-slot     before you buy.\n\nYou may have to consult hp's website to see what an 8760c has available.

Check the following places:\nNewegg.com\nZipZoomFly.com\nPricewatch.com\n\nAnyone that tells you to buy anything from Best Buy doesn't have a clue of where to buy computer parts.

it REALLY depends, like, the computer's life itself truly depends on a couple of things, the power supply, your proccessor, your graphics card, and your memory, all of things can be switched out, but if you wanna do THAT, then you have to make sure your computer is compatible with all the new parts you want to buy, if it's 6 years old, i'd just buy a new one, because the slot's for some of the components such as the graphics cards or the memory cards are newer and most likely won't be compatible with your current computer.

The computer with latest available features are the best computer to buy. Because since interms technologies outdating very often, to maintain the value of your investment atleast for some length of your future go for a computer with latest processors with required availble features.
