Create the
perfect environment to make a
website
This is a not
so common subject. But I think you have to spend some attention to
it, especially if you're planning to buy a new
computer.
First I'll discuss the screen. I recommend you to
buy a 17 inch screen, because it is getting the standard. Higher is
good too, but don't buy any 15 inch screens anymore! Use a 800x600
resolution, because it's the most used resolution and you prevent
that users with a smaller resolution have to scroll
horizontally.
Secondly the RAM memory. If you want to use
heavy applications like PhotoShop or other graphic programs you have
to buy 128 mb. Even if you don't want to use such applications it's
recommended to buy 128 mb because it makes the PC lots faster. But
64 mb will do if you want to run some office applications or games.
You can always add more later.
With the processor I'm not
going to put a number on it. Because it develops so fast. Buy the
newest processor because if you buy one that's two months on the
market he will be much slower. You don't have to buy Intel
processors, AMD will do the job also. By the way AMD is the
cheapest.
Your hard disk now. I use my hard disk for over 1
year now and I have reached 4 GB. I would say 8 to 10 is enough, as
long as you don't plan to put hundreds of games on your pc, than I
would recommend 20 GB.
Other things: ask for a DVD-drive. It's the drive of the future, is as fast as a CD- drive
and doesn't cost so much more. And of course a disk
drive.
And some things you can buy later. Like a printer.
Such a thing almost doesn't cost anything anymore if you look how
important it is. And you will need some kind of back-up tool. I
recommend a CD-writer, but ZIP and JAZZ are also good. Another thing
that isn't really expensive anymore is a scanner. I use an AGFA
snapscan at home and it does everything I expect it to do.
If
you have all these things you have created an almost perfect
environment for web designers and developers. All these things cost
together no more than 28000 US dollars. It's a buy you only have to
make once every 4 years. Scanners can go for 10 years and printers
to up to 7 years.
