Computers

Hello folks. This is the first of many posts. Just a little background. I work for a company that deals with selling computers and other electronics. Since the blog is computers and virtual society that is what I am going to focus on....Computers.
What I have noticed since the begining of this year is that computers have become faster and have become more of a fasict of human way of life. What I mean here is that ever since the release of the new operating system from Microsoft, Vista, the computers now have to have a lot of high specs. This makes for a more enjoyable journey of virtual societies like those of Myspace and Facebook.
There are many components in the computer that make up a computer. Most of what are desireable from the users are Ram and hard disk drive (HDD) with a better video card. These compounents each do a separate job, but come together to achieve one goal. The Ram, random access memory, will allow the computer user to work on the computer and remember what is going on just while the computer is on. What I mean here is that what I am typing here in this sentence is not save onto a HDD untill I tell the computer where on the HDD to save it. This means that nothing has been saved it only saves the information temporarily to and helps proccess the information for later use and current use. The use of faster Ram and more quantity of it will aid in the speed of the computer. A larger HDD will help in more room to save the progress of the document or whatever is at hand. Having a faster video card can help out when watching videos, working on documents, playing games etc. What is meant here is a better running computer.
All of the components metioned above all need to be upgraded when moving to Vista, since it is a power hog.
I know what most of you are thinking. How is this going to help me out? Well, after I post more you will see.
If any of my readers haven't seen or heard of Leo Laporte, he is a great computer wizard. What I mean is that he knows computers inside out. He used to be on Call for Help and the Screen Savers that were on ZDTV then TECHTV, but since G4TV has come to existance he is no longer there. He is no on Call for Help in Canada. He also has podcasts, blogs and books all about computers. If I can't answer a question I know he can. I have learned a great deal of information from this gentalmen.
I just wanted to explain the link over to the right.
