My 3 computer network here at my biz is just about 2 yrs old. In the past I’d been really careful about what I bought, but I was in a hurry and wound up buying 3 bad computers. They have been slow as molasses for the duration, and have AMD chips. Something is seriously wrong with these AMD Athlon 64 processors, and even after installing a patch to the drivers, they stink.

In a bizarre twist though, in my desperate hours of trying to fix my computer, I over installed my xp pro OS and the speed picked up 4 fold. So, I’m assuming there is some sort of software hardware conflict.

The computer expert in my office right now, is going to try the same thing now with the other two computers, but it is taking FOREVER, because those other two pcs are barely moving. Ugh...

6-12 months from now, I’ll torch the old system and buy something completely new. I’d like to incorporate smart phones with the computers, state of the art stuff. I’ll be very picky.... Any suggestions welcome.

Not if you want to work at most jobs like a real person.

At my office the employees don't buy their own computers, they use the ones we supply and the software we give them.
