You are not going to find the single best monitor for everyone. It just won't happen. What you can hope to find is the single best monitor for you. But what can make one monitor better than the other?I am sure you already know that size can make one monitor better or more expensive than another. After all a 20" monitor should not cost as much as a 26" right? Most computer monitors that you will

Now you that you may have determined what internals you want in your PC how you determine the best brand and model. Here I have to recommend www.cnet.com. They are the best technology review site I have found yet. Read the editor reviews and the customer reviews. Then go to places like Amazon, and www.newegg.com and see if you can read some more reviews from the customers on the computer you are

Do not buy a computer that has less than 2GB of RAM if it is going to have Vista installed. Also if you plan to upgrade find out what the max memory is for that system. Each system (depending on the motherboard) will have a different amount of maximum memory.

Image via WikipediaThe third question is what type of computer do you want? Is it going to be a laptop or a desktop? This is an important decision because it will drive the price of your computer. You must realize that no matter the situation, spec for spec the laptop will be more expensive. I cannot think of a single instance where this has not been true.
