For some companies that computer they purchased just a few months ago
is already out dated. There seems to be no end to they cycle of replacement
and obsolescence.
Infuse Technologies can help you
make the right purchase for your business to reduce your TCO (total
cost of ownership) and save your business annually on computer purchasing.
Here are some things to
look for in selecting the right workstation for your business:
- Lots of memory
- Fast front side bus
- Reliable, big hard disk drive
- Fast CPU
About Computer Workstations
A workstation is a computer intended for business use that is faster
and more capable than a personal computer. Workstations and applications
designed for them are used by small engineering companies, architects,
graphic designers, and any organization, department, or individual that
requires a faster microprocessor, a large amount of random access memory
(RAM), and special features such as high-speed graphics adapters.
Factory or Custom Built
Workstations
Depending on your computing needs, a computer you purchased last year
may not meet your present needs. A computer with greater capability
(processor speed, RAM, disk capacity) and expandability will be more
likely to continue to run the software you require.
Of course you can purchase a factory
built computer. We strongly recommend that you purchase a business class
computer, as opposed to a machine intended for home use. Many computers
intended for home use, such as Emachines, are not meant to be networked
via an Ethernet adapter. Some do not have the capability for expandability
and cannot accommodate devices such as Ethernet adapters. We also build
excellent custom business class workstations.

Printers
Printers are devices that accept text and graphic output from your computer
and transfers the information to paper, usually to standard size sheets
of paper. Printers vary in size, speed, sophistication, and cost. In
general, more expensive printers are used for higher-resolution color
printing.
Printers can be distinguished
as impact or non-impact printers. Early impact printers worked something
like an automatic typewriter, with a key striking an inked impression
on paper for each printed character. The dot-matrix printer used to
be a popular low-cost personal computer printer. It's an impact printer
that strikes the paper a line at a time. Currently, the best-known non-impact
printers are the inkjet printer, of which several makes of low-cost
color printers are an example, and the laser printer. The inkjet sprays
ink from an ink cartridge at very close range to the paper as it rolls
by. Laser printers use a laser beam reflected from a mirror to attract
ink (called toner) to selected paper areas as a sheet rolls over a drum.

Printers
- The four printer qualities of most interest to
most users are:
Color: Color is important for users who
need to print pages for presentations or maps and other
pages where color is part of the information. Color printers
can also be set to print only in black-and-white. Color
printers are more expensive to operate since they use two
ink cartridges (one color and one black ink) that need to
be replaced after a certain number of pages. Users who don't
have a specific need for color and who print a lot of pages
will find a black-and-white printer cheaper to operate.
Resolution: Printer resolution (the sharpness
of text and images on paper) is usually measured in dots
per inch (dpi). Most inexpensive printers provide sufficient
resolution for most purposes at 600 dpi.
Speed: If you do much printing, the speed
of the printer becomes important. Inexpensive printers print
only about 3 to 6 sheets per minute. Color printing is slower.
More expensive printers are much faster, sometimes 15-17
pages per minute.
Memory: Most printers come with a small
amount of memory (for example, one megabyte) that can be
expanded by the user. Having more than the minimum amount
of memory is helpful and faster when printing out pages
with large images or tables with lines around them (which
the printer treats as a large image).g.
