3.0 Case Study

Q1. What might be the differences between a computer system set up for gamming compared to one set up for a business to use? Think about the different hardware that might be needed.

A1. For the gamming system needs an XP7000 Tower, a 19-inches flat screen, a DVD drive, a high-speed modem and speakers. However for the business system you only need a regular Tower, a 19-inches screen, a high speed modem and a printer. So practically the gamming system is more expensive than the business system.
