The problem with trying to find the best computers for office work is that "office work" is hard to define. An advertising agency will need a PC with high end graphics; an engineering company will nee one with advanced CADCAM capabilities and so on. So the only option is the try to define what makes a great computer for general office work - document preparation Kirk Cousins Jersey , data storage and management, number crunching and the other routine office functions. Among the factors to consider are:

Processors (CPUs)

The best processor available today is the Intel i7-980X Extreme Edition. It costs a packet, but this six core processor offers an unmatched level of performance that makes multi- tasking faster and easier than ever before. With a speed of 3.33 GHz a user can run a range of office applications and can switch from one to the other without ever having to wait for one application to catch up with the rest.

Memory (RAM)

First of all it has to be DDR3 - DDR2 RAM is obsolete and found only in low cost units. Keep in mind that while many applications require 1 GB or less of RAM to run Adam Thielen Jersey , multi tasking requires a lot of memory. In most cases 4 GB of RAM will handle most normal office requirements, but 8 GB will provide real speed and prevent any possibility of the system freezing due to low memory.

Hard Drives (HDDs)

For office use, you will need at least 500 GB of storage. But a second (perhaps remote) drive of equal capacity will allow for complete back up of all you data. While a 7 Authentic Vikings Hats ,200 rpm drive is adequate, a high speed 10,000 rpm drive will improve performance significantly. They cost more Authentic Vikings T-Shirts , but the performance difference makes the additional outlay worthwhile.

Optical Drives

DVD burners that support both +RRW and -RRW formats are now standard for office computers. Getting Dual Layer media support is a worthwhile expense as these disks are now the mainstream storage medium. A Blu-Ray drive is a must if work involves the need for high definition video watching or storage.

Monitors

Office computers are used all day long so a big monitor not only allows for easier viewing, it reduces eye strain. It also makes viewing multiple documents running applications much easier. The best option will be a 24 inch monitor with the new 2:1 ratio that offers the best viewing experience.

The Best Computer

The above specs, along with a great video card Authentic Vikings Hoodie , and enough (at least 6) USB 2.0 ports and at least one FireWire port are the best configuration for an office computer. Finding one that has all this will not be easy and involve buying a lot of extras to most basic configurations. For those who do not have the time or inclination to search, the HP Pavilion Elite e9290f is possibly the best buy.

It has an Intel i7 processor, 9 GB of DDR3 RAM Customized Vikings Jerseys , a 1 TB HDD and a DVD +RRW optical drive. The nVidia GeForce GTX 260 graphics card ensures that both video and the largest spread sheet and engineering drawings are displayed crystal clear. There is also a built in wireless networking adapter for easy network set up in the office.Earthquake Risk Background:

The entire Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) is located in a major Earthquake fault zone and the threat of a major earthquake striking this area is very high. The areas that are likely to be most affected by an earthquake are Richmond and Delta, which are located on unstable ground along the Fraser River. The last major earthquake in the Vancouver area occurred in January 1700 and is estimated to have registered above 9 on the Richter Scale. Geologists estimate that large earthquakes strike this area every 300-500 years so an earthquake could occur at any time.

Vancouver's Emergency Preparedness Plan:

The city of Vancouver has been active in preparing staff members and upgrading infrastructure to prepare for the inevitability of a major earthquake in the near future. The city has developed a comprehensive Emergency Plan and has identified emergency preparedness as one of the region's most important safety priorities.

Each May the city hosts an Emergency Preparedness Week to focus the public's attention on the need to be prepared for a major disaster in the Lower Mainland. A volunteer-based plan is in place to provide emergency social services to co-ordinate the distribution of food, emergency shelter Elite Vikings Jersey , clothing and basic medical service to disaster victims. The city has also provided basic emergency preparedness training to many of its employees and offers specialized courses for staff that would be involved in key emergency response roles.

The city and the province of British Columbia have funded substantial seismic upgrades to important public infrastructure like schools, hospitals and major bridges like Granville Street Bridge, Burrard Bridge and Lion's Gate Bridge. A structural review of civic and private buildings has identified building types that may be seismically vulnerable. In addition Authentic Vikings Jersey , the province of British Columbia has developed an innovative disaster response route strategy that outlines the key transportation corridors that will be vital in responding to a major emergency.

The Vancouver YVR Airport, most of which is on tidal flats that are surrounded by a system of dikes, has seen substantial improvements to increase its disaster preparedness. The Abbotsford airport has also been identified as a crucial transportation hub in the event of an emergency and as a result has received government money to improve its disaster response plan.

Vancouver's Emergency Operations Centre:

A Vancouver Emergency Operations Centre facility has been built to co-ordinate the city's response to a major emergency. The center will work to co-ordinate the emergency response across city departments and other government agencies. It will also serve as Vancouver's emergency response centre Dru Samia Big Tall Jersey , co-coordinating the police and fire dispatch o.
