>But unless your graphics or technology needs require you to seek more power, you’d do well to focus on the 500 MHz to 1 GHz range, which will likely give you all you need for $1,000 per system.< I was in Walmart the other day, and a customer there was purchasing a system. He had only one criterion for the CPU. It had to be at least 500 MHz. If it was at least 500 MHz, he would have settled for a K6-2 or even C3. As it is, he bought a 900 MHz Celeron based system because that was all Walmart was offering. Personally, I would not recommend anything less than 600 MHz (700 MHz for Celeron). Considering the low cost premium of a 1.2 GHz Athlon I think the range that consumers should be looking at is 600 MHz to 1.2 GHz, 1.3 GHz if they can get a good deal on a P4 or, as was the case at Sam's Club, get a 1.3 GHz Atlon for less than $10 more than a 1.2 GHz Athlon. >Don’t go dirt-cheap on a printer, however, or you will regret it. Plan to spend more than $100 (a lot more for a good color printer, unless you get it thrown in as part of a deal).< Especially if a color inkjet is thrown in with the deal, it is a good idea to buy a low end laser printer to go with the inkjet. The cost of consumables for inkjets, especially low end inkjets, is horrendous. Low end laserjet printers can now be had for under $200, and amount that can quickly be saved on consumables.
