Are you Paying too much for your new computer??

The most important thing is to remember to buy what you need, not what they want to sell you. Those of you in California, try Fry's Electronics.

Thats funny I should put MB instead of GB, I once had a job selling Hard Disks. This was about 12 yrs ago when a 40MB drive cost about $400.00.

My how times (And Technology) has changed.

Well, I don't have to write one! (Reply to this comment)

I was inspired to write my own article after reading another one, but yours says what I would say. But I would avoid specifying speeds and sizes, because they are out of date as soon as you type them.

By the way, your article recommends a 40MB hard drive. That was out of date 10 years ago! (I know, you meant 40GB. Just poking at you).

Good article!

People thing they need the latest and greatest to get around, when they really don't! Whats the difference between 800Mhz, and 1Ghz? At those speeds, most users hardly even notice!

Great article!
