I am a bit of a computer novice, but am looking to upgrade my computer.
I currently have a Cyrix 6x86, 31mb RAM and 4Gb hard drive.
I use the computer for internet, word processing, and a few other things.
I would like something that is a bit faster on the internet and generally.
I have been told that it is relatively easy to build your own computer.
I've only ever installed stuff like a CD-Rom drive before.
Receommended to me was: AMDK62, 550MHz, a TMC motherboard and PC100 64mb RAM. And possibly adding a second hard drive of 15Gb. (Using first one as a back up - although currently I think I only have about 1/2 of my hard drive used). Total cost with HD and new tower was around £340.
Any advice much appreciated, on choice, building my own, whether I should upgrade more, whether it will be noticeably faster, etc. Ta.
