slow PC sales

Maybe last year when the market was great everyone went out and bought a computer. You are right not everyone is a Overclocking junkie so those ppl who went out and bought computers prolly wouldn't be buying another one. Alot of consumers aren't like the ppl on here. They (I think) are satisfied alot more easily then us(TH). I think the ppl on here upgrade every 3-6 months and on an average the regular consumers aren't to likely to blow wads of cash on a video card or CPU.

i agree also but most peeps only want a machine to go log onto the internet and go to chat rooms. not much of a machine is needed to do that!

Our store was quiet over Christmas, it was because the Govt introduced a new goods and services tax last year, and all the attendant business paperwork that tied up peoples time.

A vast majority of machines that people buy are the low end get on the internet machines(Celerons mostly, the durons with nonintagrated graphics cost to much[or so they think]). I worked as a tech at best buy for a while and got to setup all the striped down, integrated to high hell machines. Most of those people will never even open the case. As long as they can get to there chat room, porn site, cult site, martha stewart home page, or whatever they are happy. Also the console explosion has also screwed the hardcore pc gamers out of any really good new games. Consoles are easier to program for, one machine, one setup. Not like the pc were there are differant cpus, graphics cards, sound cards, etc. Whats the point of having the latest greatest gaming machine if your games arent up to the par of the machine?

A lot of people up here are giving some of the blame too the rising cost of natural gas (dont laugh ) My electric and gas bill came too 282.00 last month. 42.00 of that was electric, and im single!!!! Maybe people are puting off buying the toys until the cost of living comes back down too a managable level.
Or if your in california, what good is your computer if they shut off your electric every other day (jk) hehe

have a great day
