At this time, the market computer (hereinafter - "Iron") is growing not by days but by hours. Issued new video cards, processors rapidly increasing number of cores, memory takes prohibitive frequency and received labeling DDR3, etc. etc.. But whether or not stump terrible amount of money for a new video card and if the stands, then when? In this article I reflect on this theme, it is likely that you will not lose needed money. Article I think, useful as newcomers in this field, and those who sits behind a computer davnenko.

So if you buy a new computer in accordance with the last word, the more likely you or your child will play its games and will likely not play very simple and very demanding of computer resources .. If not, then most likely you are using a powerful resource programs, or simply love for everything to work sverhbystro .. Unless something out of this, then I do not know why you buy a computer masthead:)
In the case of, if not particularly interesting to read about each component - Take a jump to conclusions at the bottom of the article.

Perhaps I'll start with the processor .. Multi-processor - is certainly good - great frequency, a lot of cache, etc. etc. .. But there is one "but" .. Not all (read very many) programs and games can work and download two core processor .. Many continue to use one, and the second (fourth, sixth) kernel trite idle .. The same programs and games that can load two (four, six) of kernels are still not using all the kernel at 100% and really quite a few that are able to load up on all the core, still do not do so well, how could .. Simply put - code poorly optimized by working with multiple physical kernels and only with time programmers learn to write programs and game code which will use the most efficient algorithms to work with multiple nuclei .. Speaking very simple and clear - the programs and games work with multiple nuclei in the 30-40% slower than might, or, more often, they have all the same, and they work as well as customary uninuclear processor .. Accordingly, I would not recommend you take more than 2 nuclear processing at least another year .. Yes, you can take a 4-nuclear, so to speak, with for the future, but, in my opinion, this is a waste of money ..

As for the video .. Masthead graphics card need only to those who played in the game .. Other users looking for a computer movies, listen to music, working with documents and laziyuschim on the World Wide Web is the usual built graphics card, video card or a lower price range with a passive cooling .. With regard to the purchase masthead graphics for games .. Yes, there is a sense, but not immediately rush to the news, but better to read reviews and get something out of the traditional video market .. And the price lower and people are not wrong ..

With respect to the memory and the number .. Fast memory need not all, and not always .. I do not see any such sense to take the memory above 800MHz in the number of 2 gigabytes, much DDR3 why I do not understand .. Memory in fact responsible only for the number of simultaneous programs and the allocation and distribution of CPU and video card .. In essence, this is the same hard disk, but many times faster and consequently lower the volume .. A lot of memory in this case - as with the processor .. There she is, but is just so .. Most frequency memory to me is not entirely clear, because the download speed \ change applications So high .. If you have Vista in which you play the game and keep on guard antivirus, faervoll and a bunch of programmok in the tray, then 4 gigabytes 800-1000 if you have enough frequency to head for another long (3-5 years), but I never became zamorachivatsya and took 2 gigabytes, which last for slightly less than the amount of time, but I do not way will not be cut up to a lack of memory and is not overpaid for its simple ..

Hard drives .. The amount of ill drive you to identify themselves .. It depends on your needs .. When choosing a hard disk look at the amount of cache (8, 16, 32, 64 MB): the more the better .. This is perhaps the most quiet product on the market of accessories ..

As for the motherboard .. If you do not want to deal with acceleration computer, simply select the motherboard supports your chosen processor, memory and hard drive .. Not zamorachivaytes to sverhdorogih cards with super-cooled - you are not needed ..

Why all just vyshedshee I strongly do not understand. You can assemble a computer for 20000-25000 rubles, which will provide a great performance. Why should we give 40000-50000rub for computer performance that you'll be able to assess only numbers, not visible to the eye?

Conclusions: At this point chase for the masthead components does not make sense, because almost no applications can use the computer hardware by 100%, while those same Top accessories worth far more than it cost when there applications can with them on 100% work. Delay upgrades \ buying a computer - save denezhku and have more fun. Software market has not kept pace with iron, and therefore we have no hurry.
