Built with business in mind, yet well suited for the home user, the OptiPlex series is a computer that offers a perfect combination of reliability, power and affordability. Dell's Inspiron 531 The Dell Inspiron 531 (along with a handful of other new desktops) marks the introduction of a more streamlined Dell product family.

Throw in its clean new looks, and this suddenly becomes the mainstream desktop we'd recommend first.

What is the advantage of openoffice to others?
OpenOffice has several advantages to other office suites.
1. Unlike Microsoft Office or iWork, OpenOffice is available free of charge.
2. Unlike Microsoft Office or iWork, OpenOffice is open-source, and free to modify.
3. Unlike GNOME Office, KOffice, or Siag Office, OpenOffice is written in Java. This means that it does not need to be ported to other operating systems; it should run out-of-the-box on any system with a Java runtime.

What is definition by operation support system?
When monitoring and controlling its activities a business can make immediate use of the information from its operational support system to make its minute-by-minute or hour-by-hour decisions. For a restaurant, for example, some of their products are freshly prepared, while others are cooked in batches or need time to defrost. If customer orders are recorded on an EPOS system, then an operational support system can alert the restaurant management as to when they need to cook or defrost more bulk products.

The speed of a PC generally refers to the system clock rate, measured in gigahertz and sometimes megahertz. A megahertz is one million cycles per second, while a gigahertz is a billion cycles per second.
However, that is not the only measure of throughput, and the clock rate can be misleading. So clock rate is not the same thing as performance. Sometimes a machine with a slower clock rate actually runs applications faster than one with a faster clock rate. That was how it was between Intel and AMD for years. The AMD processors could work faster than ones from Intel with a higher clock rate. The difference here has to do with instruction speed. If a machine is of a lower clock rate than another, but its instructions are more efficient and take less clock cycles to complete, then it will likely perform better.
Instruction speed is based on whether the instructions have their own dedicated processing hardware, or if there is microcode to derive them from other instructions. For instance, NEC V20 processor, a replacement for the Intel 8088, performed faster than an 8088 at the same clock rate. The main difference was that it actually had a hard-coded multiplier. The 8088 didn't, but relied on the adder and microcode to loop it to emulate multiplication. The reason the V20 could add circuitry to do multiplication was because they used a newer technology that allowed them to cram more stuff into an IC. So their multiplication instruction was much more efficient since they had the room to add dedicated circuits.
Go to the closest Wal-Mart store where you are in the US and ask at the Service Counter how you pay for a computer to be picked up in the Wal-Mart in Puerto Vallarta. Find out what documents the person picking up the computer will need to present. If your friend's son needs the receipt you get as the buyer, you'll have to mail or send it to him by UPS or FedEx.
Why would you want to buy the computer in the US rather than in Puerto Vallarta?
Can't the Wal-Mart there get the computer you want?

Is Ethernet a software or a hardware?
Ethernet is a type of network, so in a way it's both. If you're looking at a computer which says it's Ethernet compatible or contains an Ethernet card, it's probably talking about hardware. These days, chances are that if you have a computer that hooks up to a network that isn't wireless, it's using Ethernet to do it.
Is ROM a hardware or software?
ROM isn't really hardware or software. ROM is Read Only Memory, which could be software or hardware. Software can be read only memory if made that way, and so could hardware.
