new computer
« on: June 12, 2013, 04:20:41 am »
The comp. I am using right now is failing fast. It is very old and slow, that is one reason I am working so hard on cash sites to try and save up money for a new one. Now comes my question. If I get a new comp. is that going to mess up my account when I do surveys and things that are tracked or will all my info be the same?Don't want to lose what I have worked for if this one crashes suddenly.

Nope, as long as you hook up to the Internet from the same connection as the old one, you will be good to go. When you get the new one all set up, you should install Linux on the old one and I bet you will be surprised how fast it will be.

I know just where you're coming from! I recently had to go through the agonizing process of picking out a new PC, and it can be rough (not to mention expensive)! But don't fret- all of your info for FC will be saved and accessible when you get your new computer! The only thing you will need to do is re-download the FusionCash toolbar! ;D Happy Earning!

A good anti-virus is always preferable, as well! I have Norton and Viper on my computer.. you can never have too much protection nowadays!  :wave:

 I would like a new computer, when buying computers, what do you actually look for in it, look, reviews, etc.

To answer that question could take a BOOK, but what I look for basically is price vs. performance. Nothing matters if you can't afford it, so that comes first. Most modern computers all work fine, especially for Internet activities, so pick what appeals to you.

If you're working on multiple sites then you could back up the browser that you're using that will save any info you may not remember, as far as the sites such as FC you're info and activities will remain intact whether you get a new computer or not.

A cheap computer will do if you're just surfing the web, but when doing business I never recommend cheap computers unless you have more than one.

If you're into videos, music etc., look for a computer running Intel i5 or i7 processor, most likely a new computer will be running windows 8 (if you're a PC person.) So you'll need above 4GB of memory or a computer that’s upgradable.
For windows 8 there's no start button but there's multiple free apps available to add one so don't be discouraged by the comments surrounding this.
All the best

Thanks for all the input. I am making a list of the things I need on a computer and watching for sales.I can't afford much.

If you just need Internet you can pick up  refurbished Dell on Ebay for around $100.

Great idea, then you can do RadioLoyalty while you watch TV at night like I am.

I got a new computer last year and it didn't interfere at all, on the contrary, everything's better and faster.  Good luck with your search.   :thumbsup:
