What are the price ranges for computers

If you are looking at the lowest priced ones, be aware that the components may not be the best on the market and that the available memory on the computer will be lower than others. Free printers are also at the lower end, with the ink tending to dry up or clog if not used frequently. You are looking at somewhere from $600 to $2,000.

Buying the machine with the higher Megahertz, RAM and harddrive space is worthwhile since it will be usable longer. That is because new operating systems and programs tend to use more memory. My Mellinium, purchased in 2001, easily runs XP and the newer Microsoft Office without bogging down. I was easily able to double what was on there.
