Desktop Computers for Cheap

Desktop computers are computers that not only fit your desk well but also your pocket and needs well.
Though the Laptop Computers have an edge over desktops for their portability and Bluetooth technology but benefits of a Desktop Computer are far greater than what you get from a Laptop.

Desktop computers come with standardized or standard sized spare parts and extensions which make it less costly in comparison to a Laptop. Besides the standard spare parts are easily available in the market which makes them an intelligent and convenient choice.

Also a Desktop Computer has several extension slots which enable it to attach with several devices at a time while a Laptop only has a mini PC slot and a single PC card slot. In addition to this assembling and dis-assembling of computer parts is quite simpler in desktop PCs.

Therefore there should be no question about the considerable customization and up gradation ability of a Desktop. You can add to it whatever you want while in Laptops the addition options are greatly reduced though we feel a need to add more while working with Laptops. Most of us try to satisfy our needs by using an extra memory module with it.

Moreover, Desktop PCs are better than Laptops as far as power consumption and heat trapping is concerned. Power consumption of a Desktop is much simpler than a Laptop as it is powered directly from the wall socket by simply plugging the plug in and it provides more space to heat to escape; a process which is accelerated by small cooler fan. These are plus points that a Laptop lacks because of its ‘sleek’ size which makes a Desktop computer a much better choice for enthusiast needs.

Though one may find a Laptop a portable computing device but it bears no match to the convenience and up gradation facilities provided by a Desktop computer.

A Desktop is certainly a better and a far sighted choice that one should make. Make your choice now, choose today a Desktop computer which suits your needs from the enormous Electro Computer Warehouse range that is at your disposal online.

Computer Microprocessors - Intel vs AMD

Intel vs AMD

Anyone who has been remotely associated with a computer has heard of Intel, regardless of whether he knows even the basic facets of a microprocessor.
Now, geeks of course, will cry foul if we leave AMD(Advanced Micro Devices) out, but the fact remains that Intel is still light years ahead of AMD when we talk about publicity – globally that is.

By Jolly, isn’t Intel ahead of AMD?

Talking about computing, is a different story altogether. For a long time, AMD had been nibbling away at Intel’s empire, falling short of the big brother’s powerhouses.
That was until it launched the AMD Athlon64 microprocessors which had almost got Intel by the throat.

Intel had been the industry leader in micro-processors till then with its forte being the performance of its Pentium Series.
During those times, Intel embarked on the Netburst architecture as its future plan for the next ten years (in 2000). And AMD concentrated on building 64-bit architecture and dual core processing as its objective.

Pretty soon, Intel realized that the Netburst line was not going the right way and cut short the plan to three years. But, by then, AMD was already ahead and going on, with its plans for launching the Athlon64. and then the dual-core version (Opteron) of the same in April 2005.

Most industry experts would agree that the AMD Athlon64 was probably the best micro-processor at that time for desktop PCs, outrunning the Intel Pentium D processor across all platforms. And along with it, came the accusations of poor quality of processors from Intel and for building sub-standard stuff.

All that and much more changed with the arrival of the Intel Core 2 Duo. Code-named Conroe, independent analysts agreed that this processor was one of the finest pieces of silicon ever manufactured, going over close to 20% of performance hike over its AMD counterparts. Close on the heels of the dual-core processor, came the Quad-core line from Intel, bolstering its stand.


All said and done, one would say that if you are looking for the best chip for your computer, look no further than Intel (That is for now, of course).

If you think that the battle between Intel and AMD hinges purely on the performance of their micro-processors, then you are wrong. Both parties have a history of litigation against each other, about broken agreements, copyright infringement (by Intel over its MMX series) and AMD complaining of arm-twisting by Intel for stopping its entry into global markets.
However, AMD has already proved itself and made sure that Intel stays on its toes and delivers in the micro-processor market.
