Buying the Right PC for College Years
Intel consultant Kevin Teixeira urges buyers to favor expandable machines with ample RAM and storage for students. He notes today's fast PC will feel slow in two years and obsolete in four, and recommends a 400 to 450 MHz processor, at least 32 MB RAM, 4 GB disk, 8X CD-ROM, 56k modem, and strong service, with a firm budget and emphasis on software needs and campus tech environment. The Princeton Review offers related guidance on college information and computing resources.
