It is, therefore, important that we investigate the criteria that should be considered in making this important decision.
Probably the obvious criterion to be considered when one purchases a computer system is speed. The value of a computer is directly related to its speed, and a computer’s speed is typically measured in gigahertz (GHz). A gigahertz is one billion cycles per second, and the more the gigahertz you have to work with, the faster your
