I realize software and hardware are constantly and rapidly changing, and it's nearly impossible to keep up with. However, aren't there any computers that have better longevity when it comes to hardware and OS software? I not only mean this in the preceding sense but also in the sense of physical durability. As far as I know, the average maximum life of a home PC is approximately 6 years, give or take. It seems to me that Mac might possibly be superior in all these areas, from what I know, but I don't know enough about them to make that judgement.

I'm thinking about replacing my worn out PC and I don't want to invest in something that is going to have a short lifespan. I can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars for something that's going to go "phhhhtt" on me in 4-5 years.

Recently I got a warning that my computer is running out of memory and I should delete stuff from my C Drive to free up some memory. Anyway, I come across 2 folders, one called the Temp and the other called the Temporary File.

I was wondering if I can screw anything up in my computer if I delete everything in the "Temp" Folder? Since that folder has alot of memory that could be freed if I delete it.

Also, what is the difference between the "Temp" and "Temporary" folder?
Thanks.

I am contemplating on buying a 512 MB computer but was told I should probably get a 1GB. My old computer was a 512MB and I did just fine. Can I purchase the extra memory at a later date?
