    3. Peter, NO, I would NOT use any Overclocked machine. The extra voltage is just like add more voltage to a light bulb. It will burn brighter, but not for as long as it should. If one was to spend more on a more powerful machine to start with, then the overclocking is not needed and will not burn itself up. The act of buying a cheap machine and then adding more voltage to make it run faster, is not what the cheaper machine were designed to do. Get a machine with a FAST CPU to start with, and that can run with lots of RAM.

    3. Like an i5 or i7? Someone advised I get one with a good graphics card also even though I don't play games. Peter > > Get a machine with a FAST CPU to start with, and that can run with lots of > RAM. > > Thanks, > David C Abernathy
