The family are thinking of buying a new computer and we don't have a clue about them, so what is RAMM? Also, if you could just go and fetch your SR magazine, should we get the MAXX P4 2400 or the MAXX XP 2800+?
Any feedback would be grateful.

I know what RAM is.
Um, Random Access Memory?
Like, memory...
And the 2800 sounds like the processor thingy which is faster than 2400... so... err... 2.8 yah?

Since you seem stuck i will help as much as i can.
Things to look out for.
Processor: Usually expressed in terms of Gigahertz these days, at the moment around 3 gig is about top of the range.
RAM: This is the memory your computer uses to execute tasks, the more RAM you have the more tasks your computer can manage at a time. Therefore a high amount of RAM is preferable, i wouldnt go for anything less than 256mb. Go for 512mb and over if you can afford to.
Graphics card: The power of a graphics card is expressed in megabytes, i would avoid purchasing anything less than 128mb, and also look out for cards that are direct 9x compatible.
Hard Disk Drive space: This is where you store everything, as you probably know, these things can fill up pretty quick, im still on a 20gb HDD, but only because my HDD is a dinosaur. I would say 120gb is the current optimum.
Hope that helps.
