Going to purchase a New Computer?

Asking friends to suggest a worthy configuration as per your budget?

Confused over the buzzwords about L2 Cache, FSB, RAM Slots, PCI, AGP Card, DDR or DDR2 or DDR3, MHz Myths, Intel or AMD, Gigabyte or MSI or Asus?

The age long trend in India is to assemble a PC depending upon the budget of the purchaser and trying to juice it up with some glitzy ATX Cabinets that the shopkeeper offers and suggests you to take it as it is the hottest piece going around.

An assembled PC, I am working on One, according to me is very much a prized possession for every computer user because this is the one which had been bought, which had been long cherished before we even lay our hands upon it. An year ago, My PC costed me around Rs.45,000. But, it never made me twitch. Because, there had been so much care and precious hours of thinking that had gone into putting up the ideas on paper and the courage the swipe the Plastic Money purchasing this Monolith, on which I am working. Never had it crossed my mind to compare what the price is now. Because, this is the one which will never cease to exist(Unless, there is some electrical disturbance).

We never even think of getting a Branded PC, no matter, what the ads say about the Branded PCs. To state the fact, there had never been so many ads too suggesting the end-users to purchase a branded PC. Only ads I have noticed are of Zenith PCs and that too of Laptops.

No matter what happens, We would never think of purchasing a branded PC as it costs more than what it’s configuration is worth. But, there is a crucial reason over why they cost so much. Its because of the warranties over the products of the branded PC. An assembled PC, no matter what the shopkeeper says, doesnt make you an esteemed buyer. So, choose wisely.

Else trace out the best shop and do a little bit of research for yourself.

We’re a busy lot, here at the ExtremeTech laboratories, and we can’t always personally answer your email. We certainly do hear you, however, especially when you write in with PC and tech conundrums that have you stumped.
Gremlins

The emails keep coming. Your computer won’t boot. Your roommate’s PC ingloriously shuts off at random intervals. The game your sister is trying to play doesn’t look like it should. Your daughter spilled milk into your keyboard.

The troubles don’t stop with PCs, either. Your Xbox 360 is flashing the dreaded Read Rings of Death. Your PlayStation Portable can’t read its Memory Stick anymore. What gives?

There are times we swear that our technology is haunted. We’ve had problems that induced us to check every cable, every connection, and every slot and socket, and conclude that the problem must be gremlins. Even the harshest of stumpers, however, can almost always be explained—or at least worked around through brute force.

Stroll with us through ten scenarios and what just might be the solutions you’re looking for. Even if we don’t figure out your particular dilemma, remember one thing: Gremlins are best killed with a big hammer. Continued…
