Coimbatore, Feb 08: A HOME computer is no longer a machine with a lot of compromises, just to keep the cost as low as possible. Modern families want a machine that will do a lot more than just word processing. They go in for models that can easily handle graphics and three-dimensional games. Computer dealers are finding that even machines that were considered "high end" are being snapped up for use at home with the accent on value for money.
Home computers nowadays come with the fastest processors in the market, and have fairly large memories and storage capacity.
A high-speed modem is part of the package, in keeping with the growing demand for fast surfing and speedy downloads.
