Bonita White has been asked by her boss for the specifications for her
new
system.
I would suggest a system with the following configuration:
Pentium III processor at 866EB MHz, 256MB RDRAM, 30 GB Ultra ATA (7200
RPM) hard
drive, 19" (PooI) or 21" (PIIIO) FD Trinitron Monitor, 256KB Advanced
Transfer
Cache, 32MB NVIDIA geFORCE 4x AGP Graphics Video Card, 12X DVD-ROM
Drive, SB
Live! Digital Sound Card, Harman Kardon HK-595 Speakers, Logitech
Mouseman.
Other questions: Modem or T1 or DSL connection? Extended onsite warranty
or
corporate PC tech support team? Are you going to be distributing via CD,
then a
CD-RW Drive. Also what about backup options? Which OS - NT 4.0 or 2000?
