    All In One Printer below 16k

    a) If you don't want FAX, go for a Samsung available for 8K (Model number I don't remember). b) If you are going for HP, ask about the Wifi option. It will help for 2 computers too, (provided you are using Wifi in office). With Wifi you can keep the printer in a central location in office, and...

    Need a CHEAP CPU for: Websurfing+Virtual Machines

    For your point: Server Processors: Why More Cores Matter But that is for server machines, the processor has multiple channels to access memory. Against your point: CPU Cores: The more the better? - Super User Grrr. I just hate choices. :-(
