A coupla' basic noob questions for ya:
I'm about to buy a new computer, and I'm wondering:
1. How much cache memory should I get? 512kb? 1MB? 2MB? I don't have very high-end needs; I don't do any video editing and I don't play video games. I mostly just work with Excel, watch videos and DVD's, and browse the web. I just want the computer to run these things fast and smoothly. One computer I'm looking at has 512kb + 512kb on die Level 2 cache memory. Does that basically equate to 1 MB cache memory?
2. What is Acer's reputation as a brand? One of the computers I'm looking at is an Acer Aspire desktop, and I haven't heard anything good or bad with regard to Acer's reputation. The only one that I've heard consistent complaints about is Dell.
Please fill me in. Thanks!
