Thanks Michael,
Yes, it looks like I am most likely heading for another desktop. I will
neeed to do a bit of looking around to find just what I want. I am
making a list of people's recommendations to have available once I start
my shopping. It's silly, but i want to make sure I have a working
microphone, grin. It is tough to join in with webinars and SKYPE and
other things without one. I still use my CD/DVD burner, so I will need
one of those, also. These are little minor things I don't want to
forget. I figure a 256g SSD should work well with at least 8g ram. I
want enough USB ports so I can hook up more than two items and I want
them where I can reach them, not where I have to climb under my desk,
grin. I am thankful to all of the people that have given me ideas today.

Hi,
My suggestion is this,
In case of a desktop:
As a drive go for an SSD of at least120 specifically for the operating system
then add an another sata drive of about 1 or 2 terrabyte for the other
Regarding RAM nowadays this is quite cheap, so go for between 12 or 16GB so in
the future you avoid to upgrade the ram.
In case of a laptop
As a hard-disk go for 1TB SSD with 12 or 16 GB RAM, I bout my laptop for about
€1,000with these mentioned specifications and windows 10 operating system.
One another thing regarding Video ram go for a dedicated one and do not relay
totally on those on board video rams.
Thanks,

Subject: need new PC recommendations
Hi,
I must get a new PC. I am looking for suggestions for one that will meet the
best use criteria for speech. Is 8g ram enough or should I get 12? Should I
get both SSD and SETA frives? If I neeed SSD, how large should it be?
Generally, which would be the best brand? I know this is a personal choice. I
have had Dells for the last two computers and am wondering if something else
would be better. I have Office 2007. Can I use 2007 on a win10 system or
Should I get 2016? My current PC is almost 8 years old and is beginning to do
some wierd stuff, so I thought I had better take care of getting a new one
before this one gives up.
Finally, does anyone use a hybred and what do they think of it. I know I do
not want a notebook, so it must be either a hybred, a decent laptop or another
desktop. Thanks for any suggestions. Oh yes, I would like to get one on sale
today, grin.
Carol
