Processor: This is the PC's "brain." Generally, the faster the processor, the faster the computer can work. Processor speed is measured in megahertz (MHz) or Gigahertz (GHz). 1 GHz is equal to 1000 MHz. and, normally, as you'd expect, the greater the MHz, the faster the PC, although processors such as AMD Processors and 1Giga Pro have clocked speeds faster than their MHz and are listed by their actual speed and not their MHz in many cases. Duel core processors will work twice the speed of their MHz because they are like two processors in one that will carry more load if it is demanded. So a 2000Mhz Duel core will actually pull a 4000 MHz (or 4Ghz) load.

1Giga Pro Processor- Built in Processor by Elite Group that operates on 667MHz. This processor outperforms the Intel Celeron 1GHz.

AMD - The AMD processor for desktop is among the world's most powerful engines for PC computing. Business users working with image processing, digital content creation, CAD/CAE, scientific applications and other computationally-demanding software benefit from the processing power of AMD Athlon™ processor-based systems. AMD Athlon™ processor-based systems give users one of the highest levels of software performance available today. AMD Athlon™ processors provide outstanding performance for cutting-edge software applications running on today's high-end desktop systems, notebooks, workstations, and servers. Compares to the Pentium processor.

Intel^® is one of the leading processor manufacturer, offering the popular Intel^® Pentium^® III (and now 4) as well as the Celeron^® processor. Consider at least an 1000 MHz processor for a desktop.

Celeron: This is a proven platform for the value-conscious buyer. Celeron^® is designed to enhance performance of business applications and provides for speedy searching of the Internet.

Pentium:Pentium^® processors offer more power-enhancing features, allow for real-time video editing and streaming video and provide a realistic 3D and animation experience. Pentium^® processors are generally faster and more powerful than Celeron processors.

Memory: Random Access Memory (RAM, DDRAM, SDRAM) is measured in megabytes (MB) and is the place where the PC temporarily stores information that is on its way to or from the processor. When the PC is turned off, data stored in RAM disappears.

After processor speed, memory is one of the most important determinants of system performance. In fact, increasing the amount of memory in your PC is one of the most economical ways to increase its performance. As with processors, the higher the number, the faster the computer, generally speaking.

RAM also helps determine how many programs can effectively be open and running simultaneously (for example, writing a report, receiving email and listening to a CD at the same time). Average systems have 512 MB of RAM. If you are planning on using your PC for digital video editing or downloading music, you should consider 1Gb as a minimum amount of RAM.
