    Getting to know more of your desktop computer, its features, and
    how the integral parts work will broaden your basic knowledge about
    video conferencing equipments. It would be much easier for your to
    start video conferencing innovations.

    Choosing the old reliable, commonly known as the desktop; desktop computer; or
    otherwise the desktop PC, will provide some more flexibility in interconnecting the video
    conferencing equipments and systems with your home theater,  mini home theater, home
    theater in a box and home stereo systems in doing video conferencing innovations.

    What desktop computer really suits your video conferencing
    innovations needs?

    The different video conferencing innovations that you are doing most of the time determine
    the right CPU or desktop computer that you are going to choose such as:

  • Home video conferencing innovations - make
    video calls to your love ones and friends from all
    over the world.
  • Interactive video conferencing innovations - invite
    your love ones and friends to join your online Birthday
    celebration and other family occasions.
  • Innovative online home security concepts - monitor
    your home while spending your vacation from resorts
    in distant places all over the world.
  • Interactive online home gigging concepts - invite
    your former musical band members to play together
    or do the gig online.

    You will now be confronted with this dilemma . . . Which is more economical? To pay for
    less on the CPU or cheap desktop computers that you are going to use on your day to day
    basis or pay for more on the best desktop computer to purchase in preparation for your
    other video conferencing needs that you are going to do in the future?

    For your post-purchase satisfaction, I recommend the best desktop computer to purchase
    is that which meets your video conferencing innovations requirements. A minimal price
    difference won't matter. The most important is that you are fully satisfied with the desktop
    computer you have chosen.

    The right answer . . .

    Choose Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 desktop computer model.

    The CPU or desktop computer powered by this processor, specifically the Intel Core 2
    Duo E8400 model, meets all your video conferencing innovations needs. The cost is
    affordable to all of us.

    Its connectivity to the necessary accessories makes it suitable for  video conferencing
    innovations such as:
  • Digital Media adapter (HDMI) which supports connectivity to HDTV

    The good thing with desktop computers is: it is easy to upgrade, cheaper, more powerful
    and has greater capabilities compared to the mainstream Laptop PCs except for the
    Desktop Replacement Laptop PCs, of course.

    To avoid any hassle, you have to set a permanent and strategically located place in your
    home where you can do home video conferencing innovations without lugging around
    your heavy desktop computer.

    At home, desktop computers are usually placed in bedrooms, living rooms, study rooms,
    basements, and sometimes in one corner of the dining room or the kitchen, for more
    convenience. I have yet to see a desktop computer placed in the bathroom? Maybe for
    the much bigger and luxurious bathrooms . . . or in any way, you wish to.

    Classifications of Desktops according to sizes:

    1.  Microcomputers – the forerunner of the personal computers or shall we say,
    the early smaller models of computers.
    2.  Home desktop computers – popular personal computers in the 1980’s
    commonly used at home with lesser computing capabilities compared to the
    conventional models today.
    3.  Personal desktop computers (PCs) – common name that designates all the
    types of computers available in the market today such as desktop, laptop etc.
    •  All-in-one Computer – is a desktop computer in which the monitor is
    placed in the same case with the central processing unit (CPU),
    sometimes known as AIO PC.
    4.  Workstation desktop computers – designed for more advanced technical
    engineering and scientific applications.
    5.  Server desktop computers – commonly used in the Web or Internet
    applications. The miniature models are used in Internet wireless webcams
    for monitoring.

    Most of the desktop computers that you are going to use in video conferencing
    innovations belong to the classification of Home, Personal or All-in-one computers.
    We can safely say that this seemingly boils down into Personal desktop computers (PCs)
    classification. The other groups such as the: Microcomputers (forerunner of the PCs),
    workstation and servers are used in specialized computing processes.

    The different types of Personal (PC) computers:
    1.  Desktop Computer or Desktop PC
    2.  Laptop PC
    3.  Tablet PC
    4.  Home Theater PC – designed for quiet operations.
    5.  Pocket PC - for mobile operations.

    All these types of computers have more or less the same integral
    parts that keep it functioning which are the following:

    Hardware:
    1.  Motherboard - the complex circuit board of a computer.
    2.  CPU – Central Processing Unit, the part that executes the computing
    capabilities of the PC.
    3.  RAM – Random Access Memory, the part that access stored data of a
    computer.
    4.  Hard Disk or Hard Drive – stores encoded data in a computer.
    5.  Sound Cards - it facilitates input and output of audio or sound signals of a
    computer like stereo or surround sounds.
    6.  Video cards – also known as the graphics card which generates images to
    a computer monitor display.
    7.  Accessories – essential gadgets necessary for some computer functions such
    as typing to encode data and for video conferencing, etc.
  • Keyboards
  • Mice
  • Webcams
  • Headsets, headphones
  • Microphones
  • Speakers
  • Printers

    Software: Operating System – a software installed in the computer that enables it to
    perform the different tasks and other computing capabilities.
    1.  Microsoft windows – Windows Vista, Windows XP
    2.  Mac OS X
    3.  Linux
    4.  Solaris

    Note: At this point, I can say that you inevitably encountered highly technical terms. In order
    to avoid Information Overload” or sometimes we call it Cerebral Indigestion,” just scan it
    for the time being. You can come back to it sometime later when you think you need to  
    know more about it. That’s what I always do.

    There are portions that you need to read only, and some, you have to digest it.

    With the basic knowledge you gained from the brief overview about desktop computers, I
    am now very confident that if you are planning to buy a new desktop computer or upgrade
    your old reliable, in order to start video conferencing innovations, you won’t be paying
    for more than what you need or pay for less that doesn't suit your computing needs.

    You can now make your final decision with confidence.

    The choice is yours . . .
