ITS Kutztown University has entered into an agreement with Gateway which will allow Faculty, Staff and Students to receive discounts through the vendor. This page will assist you in selecting a system which will meet your needs. We will describe each of these subsystems so that you can make an informed decision on which options you would like to upgrade over the standard systems. The CPU is the brains of the computer.
All processing is done here.
Current processors from Intel, Motorola and AMD are more than enough for standard applications that one might use at home, i.e. word processing, personal finances, internet access, typical games, etc. You may want to consider a higher end processor for some 3D games and if you are involved in any CAD, photo or video editing or other processor intensive activities. Video - This subsystem is how you view the information presented by the computer. LCD are flat panels and take up considerably less space but are at least twice as expensive as a CRT of the same size. Your video card is also included in this subsystem.
