Question

Is it ok to leave my computer on or should I turn it off ?

Answer

It is ok to leave your computer on just reboot it once in a while to clear out the ram

 
A lot of people get on  their computers several times throughout the day and turn them on and off each time this constant on off cycle is not good for the computer it heats up and cools down each time it's better to keep it at a constant ambient tempurature. 

If you don't want to leave your computer on all the time turn it on the f
irst time you use it for the day and leave it on untill your done for the day. 


Question

Can you fix my old computer or should I just buy a new one ?

Answer

Most average computer repairs can be done for $100 or less so unless your machine needs major repair or is really old  it's cheaper to just fix it than replace it.
 
 

Question

What Brand of computer do you recommend ?

 

Answer

People are kind of pre-programmed to buy the big name computers from stores or direct from companies like Dell. However the way to get the most computer for your money is to have one custom built for you from a reputable system builder. 


When you buy a "pre-built" or "box name" PC you are a
ctually buying a crippled computer by crippled I mean that the "BIOS" on the motherboard is reduced in functionality which reduces your ability to gain better than stock performance through overclocking.

The big names want you to buy a new computer every few years so they
limit what you can do with their machines after you buy them.

When you build one from scratch you are in control of the parts that go into
them no crippled "BIOS" therefore you can tweak them to squeeze every last little bit of performance out of them before having to buy a faster machine.

This also allows you to work with the person who actually built your machine
should  you need support instead of speaking with someone in another country you can't understand who actually knows very little about Pc's.

It's a little harder when it comes to laptops because you can't r
eally order non OEM motherboards for them to start your build but there are things you can do to a stock unit to improve performance like more ram or a faster hard drive.

Also OEM's tend to use very cheap parts inside much better parts can be used in a custom build 
  

 

 

Question

what's brands should I stay away from ? 

 

Answer 

All brands can have issues but the computers I see come in the most with major issues are E-Machine Desktops and HP laptops.
 
Question
Should I buy a Mac they don't get viruses
 
Answer
Totally false Macs do get viruses you just don't hear about them as often due to their smaller market share if they had as much market share as PC's they would be targeted just as much malware is everywhere same holds true for Linux
