Hey all,
I'm entering my first year of engineering at the University of British Columbia, and I'm thinking I need a new computer. I'm currently running a PII 300 mHz w/ 64 megs of RAM with Windows 98 and it runs pretty sluggishly with apps auch as Office 97, Windows Media Player 7, Adobe Photoshop 5, etc.
I'm just looking for recommendations on the extent to which I should go in purchasing a new computer i.e. processor, RAM, video card, hard drive, etc. that would suit my needs in engineering for my university life.
I just need a bare bones sort of recommendation; anything else such as sound card, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, are all icing on the cake. I just want something that's reasonably affordable, that will provide the performance I need, and that offers upgradability so I won't have to end up buying a new comp once this one goes obsolete.
Tanks,
