Wukong to buy computers, last week put together a blog on my views to her. .
Well, only to a person, it's a shame, for your reference.
. .
??。.
Optional feature: 2007 PC buying guide. .
??。.
. .
DIY is a pleasure.
This is my view. .
So, sometimes, friends to purchase digital products, I always love to go to the admixture blended. Over time, everyone would think I would know how to buy a computer. In fact, I only have continuously lessons-an old bird, how many of you on to this computer accumulated to purchase experience!.
The following text is my blog on the computer buy a collection of articles and simple editing, basically for each purchase of electronic products Experience. .
It should be noted that, because the DIY PC, just my many hobbies, well, I have always been from future PC can Max upgrade perspective, therefore, the angle of the decision, if you like once in place, or if there are no plans to upgrade computer, the program used to throw most of the text below is not suitable for you.
. .
From the perspective of future upgrades of computer purchase.
My family has a computer, a first Khan, had intended to DIY's. Helplessness, his wife was too bad my last DIY Imperial has a brand machines. This computer has all the brand of the year's Disadvantages: small memory: 128MB; integrated graphics; non-flat screen monitors. .
At that time, I thought it was 815 motherboard, no tubes so much, anyway, we at home is watching DVDs, the Internet, is very low.
Case in the future to die, not like the upgrade. Indeed, upgraded the computer in our home n times. .
For the first time. Memory upgrade to 256MB. Oh, XP immediately more smoothly.
Second time. Read LCD display cheap, bought a Samsung LCD. Avoid all contention notebook family problems. .
You know, used notebook, look at my CRT monitor, it is not used.
The third time. Internet changed ADSL, bought a piece of card. The way to the D-Link 530TX to be a ad bar. I think that card technology has matured to any of the products are the same, leaving their wives in a piece of work back on the road Shunpian Dai, It does not work. An angry, over the weekend to buy a piece of D-Link 530TX. Nice to use. .
For the fourth time. My wife too sound card is not good, just send us a friend. Instead of integrated AC97.
Fifth. The memory upgrade to 384MB. Ah, running XP, is more fluent. .
For the sixth time. Changing a wheel mouse.
Seventh. And in the field to chat with friends, buy a video camera. .
9th. I bought the camera, the USB interface and bought blocks of 2 PCI to USB. .0 plug the card.
Tenth. Not enough disk space to see hard drive cheaper, they buy one, but found that the chassis is too small, had to buy a burner replaced CD-ROM. .
Eleventh: upgrade the video card, video card instead of integrated graphics, 3D performance a lot.
Twelfth: a friend move, switching to laptops, to 5. .1 Speaker gave me. In order to match him to buy a block of new, innovative sound card. .
??……。.
Because the number of cabinet space and slot restrictions, as well as AGP graphics card, and hard disk recorder is not installed, I had to reluctantly admit that this 810 platform gives me the reality. .
??。.
. .
Conclusion: buy a computer, it is important to consider the upgrade issues.
In other words: the number of various interfaces, the number of slots, as well as hard drives and drive space, be sure to leave enough. .
??。.
To this end, I upgraded the computer in accordance with their friends and the lessons learned, summarized as follows:. .
1. purchase stable mature platform. I used this computer 810E, almost 810 platform in the last generation, is the most mature product. I do not love escalated motherboard and CPU, I personally believe that changing the platform rather than buy a new computer. Furthermore, the new CPU is the frequency of the high points for me. When the CPU is really out of the question, the entire computer is also a generational change.
That is, the motherboard is the key machine. .
??。.
2. Consider the memory upgrade problem. Whether theoretical or practical tests have proved that a reason to upgrade memory, so that the best way to improve system performance. I am now the motherboard, only two memory slots. So, then when the PC133 is very cheap, I can not be action because there is no place to put a. Therefore, four DIMM is required. .
??。.
3. Graphics upgrade issues to consider. My computer is 810E, not what I imagined 815E, no extra AGP interfaces. AGP is now time to have passed, such as the ATI9550 graphics card prices are cheap, buy a piece to plug in, it is awe-inspiring Oh. However, because there is no AGP interface, must give way. Upgrade graphics card, only to find a block of PCI interface cards to plug in, can only improve memory performance a bit. The present situation, with PCI-E X16 slot is required. .
??。.
4. Adequate interface. Like my computer, only four PCI slots. At present, the insertion of a MODeM and a network card, as well as a sound card and a TV card is not inserted. Do not look just four, in fact, four are stuck, First, some crowded, there is some interference problems. The present situation, because the network card are integrated into the motherboard, and two PCI slots, one PCI-E X1 slot is the minimum requirement. Of course, the number more point, have a PCI-E x4 is the best, and perhaps Sha Shihou have used it.In addition, the Board must have sufficient hard disk drive interface, the present situation, it is better to have an IDE, multiple SATA interface.
. .
5. upgrade the hard disk drive enclosure reserved space. You are now the 160 GB hard drive, want to add a 320GB? in the future you want to add a next-generation DVD. Space, the space is very important. The hard drive of my house, but also feel 40G enough. Now the hard drives are cheap, buy, Oh, no, overall, I am a MicroATX mini chassis. So, I settled on a new hard drive, 160G. And more expensive than 80G, not much. Future upgrades, maybe just 320G..
. .
6. good chassis power. At least, it is easy to open, easy to upgrade. There is a computer, open the chassis with a sledgehammer. To upgrade a computer to maintain them.
. .
7. know your computer, ready to focus on what you purchase platform, or a good experience. Avoid upgrade, the same mistakes. While memory is cheap, but obviously with 256 MB, but it can only recognize 128MB, sometimes, to think of it does not make the best use, or some regret.
. .
Buy player motherboard.
Introduction from the front view, the most important is the selection board. .
For a computer player, buy a motherboard can upgrade feature, a computer's playability. We have a computer player, is very cost-effective, scalable, and by continuously upgrade the computer to get playing computer process of great satisfaction.
In general, we provide the upgrade sequence is: upgrade memory; upgrade graphics card; upgrade CPU. Of course, we should also change according to market circumstances, while the emergence of new products and technology process, the purchase of other equipment, adding to our configuration. .
??。.
Motherboard selection principles:. .
??（1）。.
At least 3-phase power supply, stable power supply to the motherboard, can have more work to board a few years. .
??（2）。.
Upgraded to provide PCI-E X16 interface, if still available PCI-E X1 interface, so much the better. .
??（3）。.
Provides 4 DIMM memory slots, but if the high score board other places, this can be used as reference. .
??（4）。.
To provide an IDE slot just in case. .
??（5）。.
SATA interface to at least four. .
??（6）。.
Digital power supply technology, using high-capacitance object technology can be used as bonus points. .
??。.
. .
Case study: minimum input type.
For Intel platform, the purchase a highly integrated motherboard, and then with a Celeron chip. Absolutely minimal investment. Judging from the market, there are 865GV, 915GL, 945G chipset, and other choice. However, 945G positioning higher, more expensive and out, leaving the two compared. .
Price expensive than 865 915 100 Yuan. But, let's compare the difference between the two chipsets.
865 most of the support is 478 feet CPU, the key lies in, 865 support for the AGP slot. Demand from the future trend to upgrade, AGP graphics card interface, more and more difficult to find, and PCI-E graphics interface, richer and richer. Unfortunately, imagine, in the coming days, can easily find many cheap and good PCI-E graphics card upgrade for our use. Moreover, the display carried by the core 915 itself, but also better than 865 native. .
??（7）。.
Therefore, from this perspective, 915G/GL is the best choice. And 865 for general office applications as the entry-level computer selection. .
In accordance with these principles, we find the following motherboard:.
(1). .
ASUS P5GL-MX, comply with the above three of every article, and seems to work quite well. $ 690, the price is quite good.
(2). .
Ascore media 775DUAL-915GL, article 3 is not met, however, is very interesting, but at the same time there are AGP interface.
(3). .
Gigabyte GA-8I915ME-GL, article 3 is not met, however, also have AGP interface. Gigabyte 8I915MD-GV is also good, just as expensive, $ 699.
(4). .
Elite and elite 915-M5 915-M5GL did not see what is the difference between two (2). Meet the above three conditions. All about 650.
(5). .
Use the Ang da 910GLP 910gl chipset motherboard. See a reported sales good, choose.
. .
However the market changes quickly, very strange.
Intel use the extra production capacity, running to the market, many 865G/GV, support 775-pin CPU chipset. Users on the entry, select the 865G motherboards, will upgrade an AGP graphics card, the effect is still available to support Vista. Of course, in addition to Intel themselves, there are many low-end integrated graphics worthy of our choosing. .
?? 。.
Celeron D 400. .
500 865G motherboard.
Memory 512MB 300. .
Hard drive 80GB 350.
DVD-ROM 150. .
Chassis power 300.
. .
A total of $ 2000.
A year later, still buy 1GB memory upgrade purchase support Vsita cards, spending about 1,200 yuan. .
Another year, to purchase a new hard disk, a new burner drive spend approximately $ 900.
. .
Case study: mid-range practical.
In accordance with our principles, 945GZ/GC other products do not support 4DIMM memory slot on the DIYer, the direct out. 945G and G965 can choose the rest. G965 current price is too high, 1,200 yuan or more, can buy a motherboard + graphics card was. Are not suited to choose. The 945G in between 800-900 dollars, more than first-tier motherboard manufacturers to provide a good product, worth buying. They match with the Celeron D, Pentium 4 and Pentium D, constitute a mid-range of practical products, quite good.According to the time after the upgrade, you can get performance enhancement, as well as the fun DIY.

One year after the purchase of a support Directx10 County card, $ 600; 2-3 years after the purchase of a new hard disk, a memory upgrade, take at least $ 1000.
. .
High-end case: Core 2 Duo PC with recommendations.
Before that my computer has enough. .
Until today, I use it to edit the video before the Spring Festival Gala, a 15-minute period, the computer has been running for a total of about an hour before.
Our party of about three hours, that is, at least 12 hours to complete the task. .
This computer is too old.
Looks, etc. My child was born, to buy DV addition, in order to edit children's video, memories. I have to buy a computer only to abandon the original concept of the Internet type, to think there is a new, larger operation than the demand. .
In other words, the dual-core is required, the days come, the overall configuration, for which I have to pay more than the oceans. Do not know is not worth it.
. .
Core 2 Duo 6300, the contrary, the most worthy of purchase of Core 2 Duo CPU.
Motherboard: ASUS P5B, years ago with the P2B, on the ASUS motherboard has left a deep impression. Today again, trust P5B, alternative, Gigabyte 965 motherboard. .
Memory stick: memory 1GB.
HDD: 160GB. .
Video: video card $ 600.
Other equipment, at home there. .
Quite a bit, perhaps $ 4500. So expensive. Just one host.

Purchasing guidelines in 2007. .
??。.
Many friends that I really understand computers, I purchased the computer must be a reference. In fact, very ashamed, usually very busy and I do not have space to understand the current market situation and some so-called latest computer technology, so often do not know how to answer. Every time I want to buy cell phones and computers to find your own material to see, and then make judgments and decisions on it. .
Fortunately, there are some things in 2006, the gone times, Zhongguancun, help the relatives and friends have purchased a few computers, simple experience as follows:.
If you are the first to buy computers, do not hesitate at all times the best time to buy a computer, and now, between 4,500 yuan to 6,500 yuan, you can buy a pretty good computer. If you buy a desktop budget of more than this figure, ah, you certainly understand the PC market than I, I would not have directed. .
This year's purchase of computers, memory and SATA interface 1GB 160 GB hard drive is my basic recommended, other, depending on your budget and requirements of the free configuration. Because I think, is the property of 1GB memory and hard drive for future upgrades and many people are not spending more than $ 200, buy a big hard drive.
If you intend to buy laptops, now is good time ,6000-9000 per hour, there are many good choices, so why did the first time I do not recommend buying more than 10,000 yuan to buy notebook models, uh , I think, the first one to buy computers, their needs often do not 知道, ears easy soft, easy to overspend, so, in particular Tixing look, not too expensive for Mai, Qi Shi, Da Duoshu time, Dian Nao Du Chabu Duo. .
??。.
If you intend to buy a second computer, I advise you to carefully point. Of course, if your computer can not on 2000/XP, quickly, immediately, to buy a new computer someday. Of course, this computer can be taken into account on Vista. .
I think that purchasing a second computer, the best time is in the second half of this year. At that time, through the first half of the Intel and AMD price war, Core 2 Duo of new products, Pentium E and Core kernel of the new Celeron D has been released, and related hardware are more mature. Compared to the previous generation of products, these new products on a small lot, heat stability of the system also increases, as you know, the high heat and dust is the enemy of electronic products.
Even if you are not interested in Intel's new products, because the price war's sake, the second half of the old AMD and Intel price is quite low, this time, purchase price and the timing is pretty good. .
To buy a second laptop, I would advise you to wait until the second half of 2007, the purchase of a dual-kernel can support Vista notebook, not less than the estimated now cheaper, since now you have one computer, no need to worry.
. .
Even if you are a very understand PC gamers, the second half of this year, support for DirectX 10 game, the video will be approachable prices, so that when purchasing a second computer is the best period.
. .
??。.
Brand machine or DIY. .
With the rapid price brand machine the own computer city saved the price of a computer, it may not be less than the purchase of brand. For ordinary users, the probability of swindling was still relatively high. I see I have a friend, to give him a column list is clearly, as a result of someone else ATI1300 chip hoodwinked into high price ATI800.
Therefore, the brand of the general users, is also very suitable choice. But the brand of a disadvantage, if we open the case to upgrade their own, they will be responsible for various reasons do not warranty. .
Okay, now that you have a Dell and Shenzhou two companies, not only the product price is very low, and you own the upgrade, open the chassis that is their job to do, they will still be responsible for the end. It also provides a second option that I now own configured a computer, used to take a look at Dell and Shenzhou website, see if they have any associated configuration of products. Prices, in General, the prices are almost the same, but also be able to buy the rest assured, this year, it is recommended to buy the brand, more and more.

Intel CPU buying guide 2006-11. .
(4 months, days, prices fall a lot, the parentheses are in March 2007. ）。.
. .
Friends to buy a computer. I recommend it. Because Intel multimedia, specifies the CPU.
Check the Internet, a look surprised, and now the CPU, really good cheap, drooling in. .
The price is below $ 1000, there are three dual-core CPU you can select:.
. .
Pentium D 805 Bulk Pack: $ 670. Known as the poor, most low-end Duo. At the beginning of the listing, the price is approximately doubled now.
Pentium D 820 Bulk Pack: 750 yuan, 860 yuan box. 800Mhz FSB of the most cost-effective dual-core. .
Boxed Pentium D 915: $ 960. 9 in a series of poor run.
(Forget the Pentium D805 bar, Pentium D 820 now only 595 yuan powder. Pentium D 915 640 loose before, indeed, a most worthy to buy CPU, and Pentium D925 bulk package price only 890 yuan, this spring, is the 9 series the world.). .
??。.
Price covers the different levels of 600-1000 yuan, intel again reflected the market segments. .
Personally recommend buying a computer is used today in the winter, Pentium D 805 820, the price is a little bit more, but the 800Mhz FSB at some point, it should be good. While the home computer, a day on 1-2 hours, regardless of power and high tariffs.
If you more money, more than 1,000 yuan, of course, recommend a new generation of dual-core Core 2 Duo E6300, the price is about 1350 yuan. .
??。.
. .
If you feel we can. Less than $ 600 in the CPU, you can choose.
Do not despise the Celeron D, you look at its argument, is that 2-3 years ago, almost Pentium 4. Those Pentium 4, we do not, quite right? Personally, I kinda have feelings Celeron, I purchased the first computer is Celeron CPU, do not think there is much difference. Since that Intel branding themselves from the temptation, do not care about face, only buy on the products. .
??。.
BS, far below the 600 CPU, I recommend:. .
??。.
Celeron D 326 and Celeron D 331, the price of 400 yuan. .
??。.
Note that I recommend are 775 interface products, the old interface, the future upgrade problems. .
512 KB L2 cache, Celeron D appearance time is short, prices have Intel announced at the end of October, the sale on the market after ... manifested is quite appropriate. Those paragraphs Celeron D, I am very optimistic.
(My optimistic right now Celeron D 347,352,356, prices are: 310,350,370 yuan.). .
Report of an old article.
Celeron D 347 suddenly become the best choice. .
To install a new computer for ten years. Is the text of the Office application, low-end Celeron D. Checked, the Internet.
Found, Celeron D 347 became the best choice. .
Features, 65nm technology, 512 KB L2 cache, various parameters, I now use Pentium 4 desktop is also high.
Cheap price: 365 yuan. .
Also in line with my appetite, never just like these at the bottom of the CPU, we did not use.
. .
??。.
I also recommend two Pentium 4 it, "the 64-bit Pentium 4 520/531 (loose) 2. .8-3. .0GHz/800MHz FSB/1024K/LGA775" price 570/590 dollars. .
The price range is too close to the Pentium 805, not a good choice.
But what, after all, 800Mhz FSB, be supplemented Cerelon D to Pentium D gap between the market. .
??。.
(Pentium 4 would withdraw from the market, and prices have been compressed in between 400-600 dollars, there are many good products:..
5 series, basically not competitive. Only 6 series: 2 MB of L2 cache, Pentium 4 631,480 worthy choice. Prices up, I select the Pentium D, prices down, Celeron D, popular Pentium 4 years, the last 4 is this fate. ）。.
. .
AMD CPU March selection guide.
In 2006, AMD's CPU into Socket AM2 interface to the next, and on the DIYer, the other interfaces do not have to consider. Basically, AMD's Sempron CPU is divided into low-end, high-end dual-core Athlon, Athlon middle. .
Sempron price and Celeron D almost, I recommend purchasing a 512 KB L2 cache, minimum 256KB Sempron 3000 + wraps and $ 310.
Dual-core Athlon least 610 yuan, is the X2 3600 +. .
Caught in the middle of normal Athlon, surface is large than Sempron L2 cache. Do not see what advantage. But with AMD CPU motherboard. I guess people or Sempron or dual-core Athlon, reluctant to choose such flattening out of products.
. .
"Replacement will" Zhongguancun, how can I believe you?.
Zhongguancun to buy a computer, itself needs a lot of courage. This is one of our female colleagues, male colleagues comment on a CPU, then buy a fake. .
"Replacement will" this is what we in the past few years to purchase computer related products, experience summary.
On broadband, I home is the old computer, to card. I think the low tech card, but something so mature, there is no care for his wife returned from work Shunbian Dai a result, I was wrong, not on the total installation also had to personally buy a piece of D-Link's 530TX, quality is not the same, an installation on OK. .
Later upgrade memory, still not learned that memory particle number correctly can not test, you get to go home. A pack, unstable, and the old pass tests, but also to exchange goods. Big winter, killed me. Fortunately, learned, and later to the notebook upgrade memory stick, one is to go with a notebook, in addition, specify the purchase brand memory, and never use an ordinary record.
These two things gave us inspiration, is the recognized brand. Also look at packaging, 530TX good packaging, manuals, driver CD has done very well, one look at ease, nor indeed with them no problem. .
According to this principle, but we buying LCD monitors and digital camera is a success. Buy an LCD monitor, the small and medium-sized brand have not considered, after comparing the decision to purchase Samsung 510T, 2700 Yuan Ah, now you can buy 20-inch monitor. However, it has been used up and very comfortable, see friend bought one had not heard of the brand of monitor, there are bright spots, but feel no loss.
However, when something is not brand of times, you do not know how to choose. .
Our old computers, the USB interface is too small, and is USB1. .1, speed is too slow. Home digital equipment much later. Of course, this is me, buy a USB card doesn't just yet. However, this is not a narrow field of well-known brands. My wife had to just work on its own when welding circuit board experience, a good workmanship and that USB conversion circuit so simple, it should be is not a big problem. No thought, no, and for a time, although the stable operation, but sometimes, when recognition is not by chance that, somehow.
Another time, that is, last week, his wife must notebook connected to TV, so online online movie, you can lie on the couch watching, do not watch in the small laptop screen. .
Our family of notebook old, no S terminals, this kind of transfer equipment, we do not know what the famous brand. Will have to look at the packaging, shopping. See packaging, are usually had to believe a counter of buddy, it knows the way, quite shicheng. The results went out, his wife upon request to the designated service centre, to change, people say, you are burnt out, is returned to you at our genuine here, are not met. Angry.
In summary, basically to buy some things, have to enchant one, to buttoned. On the one hand, there is our carelessness. But, more important reason is that merchants are too irresponsible. Zhongguancun has a default rule, that can not change back. Goods can be changed to the home. However, most businesses have chances, and most people who sell do not understand the basic technology.The customer is returned to the customer in the event of another's computer, the computer can be used in a variety that it's not clear ... my wife is careless, buying back the Bluetooth card is returned to the obvious, I don't waste time or spirit, not to change ideas put, it really can't. Hell.
If you do not know what computer to buy, the more trouble. Back to the beginning of the case, my colleagues find someone to install a computer, using a box called CPU, three years of quality assurance, and so burned this year, colleagues do not worry, phone calls to Intel, the serial number of a newspaper, the result is bulk bogus, not replacement. Packed and bulk, Cha Haoduo money it can understand the behavior of businesses, one is a fool. .
Many experience makes me feel Zhongguancun is pooled, bad money drives out good money, good man I would not dare to trust. So, my colleagues and friends, let me recommend computer, desktops, I have always been: online buy Dell. Notebook, to buy slim models, is also a major priority to look at in the United States, and never directly to the Zhongguancun suffer.
