PCs are available as many different types.  I have compiled a collection of CPU types and the slots they fit into.

Compact PC Buyers Guide

Don't believe the hype and think that you have to buy a future proofed umpteen hundred megahertz PC.

Identify your requirements then buy a PC to match those.

The world's business organisations are still using older PCs so unless blasting Aliens, creating huge databases or editing videos are essential then a second hand Pentium will do just fine.

If you want to play games, buy a games console.

** Did you know that a quality PC graphics card costs as much as a whole games console!!

When you do look for a PC, remember:

Get the best quality and largest screen you can afford - less eye strain

and

RAM is more important than CPU speed!
