The parameters of an office computer are fundamentally different from a PC for home use. Typically, these devices have relatively low performance and are designed to perform certain operations.
Instructions
Step 1
The main difference between an office computer lies in its video card. Considering the fact that this PC will be designed for Internet surfing and working with text editors, the presence of an integrated video adapter is sufficient. 128 MB of memory will be sufficient. Purchase an external graphics card with similar specifications if you do not want to use an integrated accelerator.
Step 2
Now decide on the central processor. Better to use a dual-core CPU with a frequency of 1.5-2 GHz per core. Alternatively, a single-core processor with a clock speed of 2-3 GHz is also suitable. In fact, you can get by with a CPU with a frequency of 1.2-1.5 GHz, but now finding a computer with such characteristics is quite difficult, unless we are talking about a nettop.
Step 3
Find out the required amount of RAM. If you use DDR2 or DDR3 RAM, then two Gigabytes will be enough. Even with an integrated video card, this amount of memory will be enough for all office tasks.
Step 4
Now think about the size of your office computer. If you want to save valuable space, then seriously consider purchasing a nettop. Usually the price of these computers is slightly lower than the cost of their "large" counterparts with the same characteristics. In addition, nettops consume significantly less electricity, which is also important for an office PC.
Step 5
As for the choice of an office monitor, in this case, you can purchase relatively cheap models. To perform simple tasks, it is not at all necessary to have a high-quality picture and a large color depth. Better focus on the refresh rate of the screen. Choose a monitor with a frequency of 90-100 Hertz. This will reduce eye strain during prolonged use.
