What brand of computer works best?

Hi again...believe the better hard drives are at 80 gb. Though cleaning the computer using disk clean up, helps also disk defragment from time to time, especially when downloading files often...Possibly saying goodbye to some items will help, though if not, think about upgrading the hard disk.

You haven't written about the processor. If it is too slow, you might need a faster processor or more RAM. If you are not the downloading type, then the HS space is good enough, but you are downloading things, then I suggest you'd buy an internal or external drive too. Your screen should be flat and should bend in an appr. 20° and should not be in the same height as your eyes, but under it, so your neck would feel well, and it should be set at a 85+ Hz refreshing frequency, and you should move it as close as you can. Too much light behind it can hurt your eyes (gray-ish background is the best) This way your eyes will not get hurt, or turn red. I also suggest to look for the 'silent' computers. Noise is a very important factor if you are spending a lot of time in front of the computer. Hope this helps :)

If you download and store huge files on your PC, you will need to get a bigger hard disk first...500GB hard disk is relatively cheap these days, about US$100 ... Secondly, I don't know how old your personal computer is. If its always making sounds and won't power up, it is likely the mainboard is faulty.. If you are getting a new computer, get one with at least a Core 2 Duo processor and at least 1GB memory...If you are using Vista, then get 2GB memory instead

Well first of all you need more hard drive space. 20Gb is a very small amount of memory by today's standards. My laptop has 120Gb of storage. Secondly, if you are looking for speed and performance you need to increase the amount of RAM your computer has. I am pretty sure you can purchase a chip at a place like CIrcuit City and install it to your PC to increase your RAM.
