Reasons for Recommendation (specific product parameters are not listed in detail here, the main advantages and disadvantages are analyzed here)
CPU
Some people look at single-core CPUs very small, which only shows your ignorance. In some cases, multi-core performance is doubled, but in other applications, we don't see much of a performance increase. The key to this is that not all software can support multi-core platforms at this point in time. At present, the most demanding PC performance should belong to the 3D rendering and video encoding, if the program itself is designed specifically for multi-core platforms, the advantages of its play; on the contrary, if the program design does not take this into account, then it is often the CPU frequency rather than the amount of cores is the amount of the program to determine the performance of the operation. The vast majority of 3D programs and video software are not yet ready for multi-core platforms, and it will take at least 2 years for multi-core optimization to become a standard feature of application software.
AMD Athlon LE-1620 features a 2.4GHz clock, 1024K L2 cache, and 45W power consumption, and can be easily overclocked to 2.8 or even higher, with double the L2 cache than the current mainstream 512K on multicore, making it the best choice for those who play games, and a much more sensible choice.
Heatsink
Because the LE-1620 consumes only 45W, it generates less heat, eliminating the need to add a separate heatsink and making it more suitable for overclocking as well as silent platforms. I have always attached great importance to the effect of silence (mainly because I used to get up in the middle of the night to open the computer is very loud was caught, sweat ~~), dormitory with a HP brand machine, boot almost no sound; there is a DIY host boot as if the truck's engine fire ......
Motherboard = motherboard + graphics card + sound card + Network card
Using blue PCB, Mirco-ATX structure design. The motherboard is designed based on nVIDIA's MCP61P chipset, the highest-end in the MCP61 series, and supports a full range of AMD processors (even 4-core) with AM2 interface, 1000MHz HT bus (2.0GT/s), 4 DDR2 DIMM memory slots, dual-channel DDR2 800/667MHz memory support; built-in GeForce GeForce 6150 display core, frequency of 425MHz, with two rendering pipelines, a fixed shader, support for DX9c and Shader Model 3.0 effects, maximum support for 256M video memory. It can support up to 256M graphics memory, which is enough to cope with daily entertainment, learning and other graphics applications. Provides four SATAII interfaces and an IDE interface, supports a variety of RAID modes. The use of mainstream three-phase power supply, the use of high-quality 1R0M fully enclosed inductor coil with low-resistance MOSFETs, filtering front stage using Panasonic's top-grade gold electrolytic capacitors, the rear stage of the application of the performance of the very strong Nichicon LF solid capacitors, is conducive to ensuring the stability of the motherboard is good. Equipped with a real PCI-E X16 graphics card slot, two PCI slots, with a certain degree of expansion capabilities. The design of double lightning tower (most brands only use a single lightning tower or even not), so that the possibility of damage to the board caused by unstable voltage in some areas is minimized; this is a very practical design. It provides 1 VGA port, 4 USB 2.0 ports, an onboard 100MB network interface and 6-channel audio interface, which can fully meet the application needs of common users.
But after all, the Maxthon MS-N61P is listed at only $299, and is only intended for entry-level computer users, the average home, student, office, and low-end and mid-range Internet cafes preferred installation platform. Don't choose it if you play games.
Memory
1G can fully meet the general demand.
Hard drive
Nowadays, businessmen like to recommend Seagate's hard drive, but if you don't particularly care about hard drive transfer speed, and only want to use the hard drive as a storage, then brands such as Western Digital and Hitachi's 500GB hard drive at the beginning of the $800 range is worth considering.
Chassis + power supply
Chassis and power supply are often packaged together by unscrupulous dealers, because many people do not pay attention to these small details, just the pursuit of high configuration. For example, simply write a "chassis + power supply = 300", this type of product is often where the dealer's profits.
For example, the power supply specification requires that in the event of a sudden interruption of 220V AC power supply, the +5V output of the power supply can not be lost immediately, but to maintain 500ms, this 500ms is the BIOS shutdown of the hard disk as well as the head of the opportunity to return to the position. Inferior power supply can seldom maintain 500ms, which causes hard disk bad sectors. If a hard disk develops bad sectors within a year, it's a good idea to replace it with a power supply as well.
So don't trust JS's beautifully named "Strong Recommendation"! The only way to get the most out of your PC is to use the power supply to power your computer.
Chassis
When shopping for a chassis, you should generally choose one that is made of steel so that it can effectively shield you from radiation. Now there are a lot of plastic materials, the advantage is that the weight is lighter, the appearance of a better look, high-quality plastic chassis in its plastic is a copper wire, so that there is the ability to shield the radiation, of course, the poor quality is not. In the purchase of the time to try to choose a big brand of products.
Power supply
In the configuration given by the merchant, you can often see a dual-core processor with an ATX12V 1.3 version of the power supply. Although this configuration is still available, but the upgrade performance greatly affected, often platform upgrade power supply can only be reimbursed. In fact, at the same price point can be selected in a good ATX12V 2.2 or even 2.3 version of the power supply.
Gold River Legend Series ATX-S410 (silent version): the advantages of energy saving is very good, its light load, typical load and full load under the conversion efficiency of 70.82, 75.56%, 70.95%, standby power consumption of less than 3 W. The disadvantage is the actual operation of the noise of 33dB.
Multi-color Super DLP-410A : The advantage is that the noise under typical load is also only 24dB. the disadvantage is that the standby power consumption is over the limit.
On future upgrades
This computer is mainly for surfing the web, watching movies, typing, and is aimed at entry-level computer users, ordinary families, students, offices, and low- and mid-range Internet cafes preferred platforms for loading, rather than playing games. But there will still be a lot of people will feel that the configuration is too shabby, the beginning of the university with this computer, four years after the university life how to do? A few years later will not almost become scrap metal. That's right! It is to become scrap metal.
In many people's concept of consumption, in the purchase of a computer may be considered after the purchase if you can guarantee how many years after the still will not be eliminated, still can be used, that is how cost-effective. I think this is a sign of irrational consumption. Nowadays, computer technology is developing rapidly, who knows what it will be like in a few years' time? Upgrade? It's simple, just sell it as scrap metal. Of course, not all of them are sold, we only need to abandon the motherboard and CPU.
If you are careful, you will find that the configuration of a motherboard in addition to the CPU is not good, the chassis and power supply are not bad. For example, the chassis, power supply, audio, LCD monitors, hard disk and so on is not like the CPU and other products updated very quickly, a lot of technology has reached saturation. Even soon to be replaced by new technologies, but not so easily eliminated. To remember: the best is not necessarily the most suitable for consumers. Now these technologies are very good to meet people's basic needs, in the future a long time will even become the obstacles to the promotion of new technologies. CPU, graphics cards and other elimination of the degree of fast update, to a large extent, is the high demand for 3D visual effects, there is a market for the development of it. (There are many new technologies that can even be said to be imposed on consumers by manufacturers, such as Microsoft's promotion of Vista at some point in the future will no longer provide technical support for XP, even if we still feel that XP is enough and good enough at that time, but also had to enter the Vista era.)
We can take a look at my configuration two (as follows, this configuration is also very suitable for the current requirements of the game friends, recommended to buy). We can find a difference of 750 dollars between the two configurations, perhaps some people will say I do not care about that little bit of money, spend a little bit more money with a longer time ah. But choose configuration one, put the 750 yuan in 4 years later, buy the performance is absolutely compared to the current exponential growth; and we also have to take into account the aging of the hardware and so on, even if the maintenance is good will more or less cause a decline in performance, not to mention playing games on the hardware of the life of the overdraft. The choice of configuration two, for some friends who want to upgrade, to 4 years later may only become tasteless, discarded chicken help.

Reason for recommendation (specific product parameters are not listed in detail here, go online to check. Here mainly analyze its advantages and disadvantages)
CPU
If you often while burning CDs, while watching movies, while open QQ chat, while surfing the Internet, while installing programs, while opening the N World of Warcraft (I've seen smooth running 6 open, rich people's top configuration), while playing Internet phone, while in the background to do the video coding
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ at 2.2GHz, 512K*2 L2 cache, Brisbane core code for better overclockability.
Heatsink
This is supposed to be a cooler for Intel platforms, but if you play with the DIY spirit you will find that removing the original LGA 775 grommets and replacing them with the grommets of the AMD Socket AM2 on some multi-platform coolers will work just as well on AMD platforms. And compared to the business to install a miscellaneous cooler for you, the noise will be worried about the strike in case of burned CPU, 5610 also passed the RoHS certification, in the user's choice is also a pill of peace of mind. Whether it is from the appearance, quiet effect (19dB), cooling performance, ease of installation, the use of platforms and price, have a very good performance and cost-effective.
Motherboard = Motherboard + Graphics + Sound Card + NIC
The AMD 780G is the most cost-effective integrated motherboard available, and it even performs well when dealing with certain large-scale 3D games. The manufacturer has set the card's default core frequency to 500MHz, which is comparable to the performance of the GF8400GS discrete graphics card. In fact, it is fully capable of 800MHz, which is mainly to protect the market share of the existing low-end graphics cards in the ATI market from being impacted. And this Onda motherboard provides GPU by megabyte frequency + 128M of onboard video memory UMA + SidePort at the same time to make its performance can be more fully realized. For high-definition video can also realize the full hardware decoding.
* Advertised performance is based on maximum theoretical interface values from respective Chipset vendors or organization who defined the interface specification.
Display ports include D-Sub, DVI, and HDMI, as well as a Debug indicator. The downside is also obvious, there are only 2 USB ports on the rear, plus the front of the chassis may not be enough for some users.
Memory
DDR667 and DDR800 in the price difference has been less than 10 yuan, where of course the choice of 800. need to pay attention to is the market appeared a lot of generation of heatsink memory, the price is also much more expensive, but does not have the same as we think that can be effective in reducing the memory temperature. About the memory of the extreme identification is very complex, not to do too much here.
Hard disk
250G is king! Seagate's 7200.11 series number ST3250320AS uses a single-disk 250G design, with average transfer speeds significantly higher than other 250G hard disks, with the only shortcoming being its slightly slower seek time of around 15ms.
It has the best price/performance ratio.
Chassis + power supply
Chassis and power supply are often packaged together by unscrupulous dealers, such as simply writing a "chassis + power supply = 300", these products are often the dealer's profit.
For example, the power supply specification requires that in the event of a sudden interruption in the 220V AC power supply, the +5V output of the power supply can not be lost immediately, but rather to maintain 500ms, which is 500ms is the BIOS shutdown of the hard disk as well as the head of the opportunity to return to the position. Inferior power supply can seldom maintain 500ms, which causes hard disk bad sectors. If a hard disk develops bad sectors within a year, it's a good idea to replace it with a power supply as well.
So don't trust JS's beautifully named "Strong Recommendation"! The only way to get the most out of your PC is to use the power supply to power your computer.
