[LUG] New computer: RAM, CPU

 

Hello.

It's that time where I'm going to buy a new computer and I realised I
have little idea about how much memory and how fast a processor is
needed these days. I've bought some servers for work recently and
compared to shose all desktops seem very slow and rather low on
memory, but then, this home computer is going to run neither a mail
server nor a web server. Just a dual boot Kubuntu and Vista, that will
mainly be used for web browsing, office stuff and some photo editing.
But it'd be nice if it were good enough to survive the next version of
either operating system too.

Thanks.

Martijn.
