INTRODUCTION:

After visiting the BCS Computer City, I have collected the information of the most expensive computer. But the interesting part is that there is no perfect amount of most expensive computer. People purchase the computers based on their configurations like- clones, original (brand computer) or with Celeron processor. In computing, a clone is a hardware or software system that is designed to mimic another system. Compatibility with the original system is usually the explicit purpose of cloning hardware or low-level software such as operating systems but may also be designed to support specific file formats (e.g., OpenOffice.org is intended to supplant Microsoft Office). Sometimes the costing of this clone computer is higher than the original ones depending on the configuration. Celeron is a brand name given by Intel Corp. to a number of different x86 computer microprocessor models targeted at budget personal computer market. Celeron processors can run all IA-32 computer programs, but their performance is often significantly lower when compared with similar CPUs with higher-priced Intel CPU brands. For example, the Celeron brand will often have less cache memory, or have advanced features purposely disabled. These missing features can have a variable impact on performance, but is often very substantial. While a few of the Celeron designs have achieved surprising performance, most of the Celeron line has exhibited noticeably degraded performance.This has been the primary justification for the higher cost of other Intel CPU brands versus the Celeron range. It was introduced in April 1998 and the first Celeron branded CPU was based on the Pentium II branded core. Finally, the top ten brand computers are Asus, Acer, Apple, Compaq, Dell, HP, Panasonic, Toshiba, Sony, and Samsung.

From this data, it is clear that this is totally a Celeron process. Here the customers can choose the least expensive brands items and can add them altogether to make an efficient computer for their office or working environment. But if customers demand is for the brand new computer then they have to increase their budget as well. The following is a configuration of such computer: Table 2: ASUS CM6731 Desktop Features and Specifications: Name: Brand Model Operating System Processor Chipset Graphics Hard Disk Drive Graphics Memory RAM Card Reader Ports Expansion slot Bays Monitor Keyboard From Factor Warranty Total Money: ASUS ASUS CM6731 Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium/Basic (64bit) Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Dual Core Processors Intel H61 NVIDIA GeForce GT520/GT530/GT640, AMD Radeon HD5450/6470/7350, Intel GMA HD Up to 4TB SATA 1GB,2GB,3GB 2GB DDR3 1333MHz 6-in-1 8 x USB2.0, USB3.0, Microphone-in, RJ45, Headphone-out, DVI-D, VGA, HDMI 1 x PCI-e x 1, 1x PCI-e x 16 1 x 5.25, 2 x 3.5 ASUS 18.5 LED Wide Screen Monitor ASUS USB Optical Mouse Micro Tower 03 years warranty (Spares & Service) Tk. 34600

It is quite relevant to the Dell desktop because the Dell desktop has an amount of 49,500 BDT. But the main problem of the brand new computer is that if any power supply fault, then it might take a month to repair the system whereas the clone models are very easy going to handle and repair.

Measuring the efficiency cannot be described because the latest configuration will come to the market one after another and people will attach them with their devises to make their computer more efficient. So till now in BCS computer city, the most efficient computer is Intel 2nd Generation Core i5-2400 (3.10 GHz, 2 cores). Through cloning system, it can be core i7.
