So, its about time for me to buy a new computer....or build one. The following trends come to mind: Moore's and Kryder's.
Of course, I haven't been sticking to my budget like I should so I don't have the money saved up to buy a computer. I'm looking at a December timeline. In the meantime, I can do research and decide on laptop versus desktop versus server.
For my birthday 2 years ago, I was going to buy myself a new desktop (1/4 years) but the aforementioned Moore's law had failed and I was peeved about not getting my 4.0 ghz processor. Actually the measurement that I need to keep track of is FLOPS. How many floating point operations can my new processor do with the available RAM and system BUS? I have time to do the research.
