My old cpu finally wheezed and died. Mine was over 6 yrs old. An old Dell that held up quite well. The sales tax in los angeles jumps to 10.5% on april 1. so i got monday and tuesday to buy a new cpu.
I need something fairly basic but fast. Word, excel, the 'net, opening at least 5-6 different screns at once,
NO gaming, NO heavy graphics, no editing, any of that stuff. (I'm too old and honestly gaming holds zero interest for me). My youngest, my 15 yr old, is dying for a new graphics card but tough.
I dont need a monitor, speakers, keyboard or mouse. That's all covered.
I dont have a preference as to the manufacturer.
I need a machine that is realiable and fast.
I've talked, read and read. Everybody has their own opinions on what to get. Asus motherboard, no Asus motherboard, DDR3, not DDR2, buy from tigerdirect (my personal favorite place is Newegg), etc etc etc.
Who's got a recommendation for a complete, NOT part, CPU? Please????
