PC Buying Suggestions
A fast CPU, commonly referred to as a processor, aids in multi-tasking when a variety of applications must be opened at once. Some systems include multi-core power processors, while others have single core processors. A strong efficient processor is a must for all business computers; however rarely is the cutting-edge, most expensive processor needed.

Memory-Storage
Memory allows the computer to quickly access frequently used applications and information. A business computer needs at minimum 1GB of RAM. A larger amount of RAM, up to 2GB, is strongly suggested.

The hard drive must be large enough to handle the installation of numerous productivity applications such as Microsoft Word and QuickBooks as well as store documents, spreadsheets, email, sensitive data and more. 160GB hard drive will efficiently store what is needed but more should be considered if your business network lacks a server where users store their data.

Video/Audio
Though not mission-critical to the average office user, video and audio capabilities are a must. Internet connectivity requires the ability to display graphics. Viewing training videos or other instructional media is a common office event. Most business machines come with more than enough audio and video capabilities. However, it is important to make certain the box you are purchasing does fulfill your audio and video needs. Things to consider about video and audio capabilities are whether they are built into (integrated to) the machine's mother board, or if they are a dedicated (sometimes called discrete) plug-n-play type device.

With the integrated method, memory is shared with the system memory and can sometimes drain other resources and slow applications. The integrated method works well for most business users. In contrast, the discrete system has dedicated memory that is not shared with the system memory. The discrete implementation is important to users who routinely use such applications as Adobe Photoshop or AutoCAD.

Additional Features
When looking at additional features, things like the computer's operating system are considered -- Mac, Windows XP Windows 7 and others. Optical devices like DVD players, security features, the ability to upgrade and expand, as well as USB ports are just a few things that also need to be taken into account.

Support/Warranty
One of the most significant areas to think about is Support/Warranty. When something goes wrong with your machine you want to be able to quickly access support, and gain replacement hardware in the event of failure, in an expedient manner so that your business doesn't suffer.

The best manufacturers provide quality help and support through email, phone and online chat. They also provide up to three-year warranties at no additional cost. Most manufacturers also provide extended warranty coverage as well as offer longer support contracts at an additional cost.
