Its about time I got rid of this old and slow thing and upgraded. However, being quite computer illiterate I have no idea whats good and whats not needed. The computer is just a personal one for 'all your homely needs' including internet, digital camera and MP3 applications.
I have seen several I like, but would like to know the difference between the Pentium 4 and Athlon processors (is there really much difference, as either would be a huge performance increase for me anyhow). Also, are all DVD re-writers still CD-RW's too, or will their individual performances always be listed?
What printers are recommended (a good inkjet seems to do reasonable photo quality) and are printer/scanner/copier all-in-ones any good?
Finally what makes? I've looked at Compaq, Mesh, Dell, Carrera, and Hewlett-Packard. Any that I should totally discount or others I should hunt for, although Apple Mac has been totally discounted, too much a windows man
All and every help is greatly apprechiated, at least to pull this techno out of the 19th Century
