Technology Update
Intel has produced the Core 2 Duo chip with several of the PC Makers
now offering it in their machines. The
Core 2 Duo is the chip of choice now breaking the speed of 2.4GHz and is relatively
affordable. It is designed for major multi-tasking and high productivity.
If
you are shopping for a PC you may notice software such as Windows Vista
(including 5 versions), Windows XP Home,
Windows XP Professional, Office XP and Office
2007. The software titles may
be confusing to some. Windows Vista, Windows
XP Home and Windows XP Professional, are
the PC’s operating system software. Window Vista Ultimate, Business, & Enterprise Editions and Windows XP Professional are designed with
the business user in mind. Windows
Vista Home Basic & Premium Editions and Windows
XP Home on the other hand, are designed for the home
user with easy to use internet, digital photography, and compatibility with
games. Office XP, the latest
office software, and Office 2007 are application software for your computer
that include Word, Excel, and other programs.
The combination of Windows Vista Home Premium (the latest Windows
operating system software) and Office 2007 would be the appropriate choice for most home users.
