Computer terms

Before I talk further about the computer and its components. Our site features a pc jargon section, which tells you about all the words computer sales people will use. Terms like Gigahertz that I feel you need to know about when buying a computer are listed here.

Popular terms that will be mentioned in the specifications are memory, hard drive space – gigabytes, processor speeds and bus speeds. Have a browse though this section to get an idea of what the computer salespeople are talking about. This section can be found here, or by clicking PC Jargon on the left hand menu. When you are done here, press back on your browser to continue with my buying computers guide.

The most common terms are listed here as well as the terms on my site, so it is worth your while to give any terms you don’t understand a quick overview. This will make buying your first computer a lot easier and will be an asset for you in the future. Instead of being manipulated by sales people, throw questions at them and learn about the basics so you know what you want and what you are talking about.
