With the birth of a new generation of hardware - the combo motherboard, a motherboard which houses a processor and RAM out of the box - the cost-cutting and energy-saving motivation of computer hardware manufacturers is on a steep ascent. Though they lack the computational power for heavy applications, they can be a highly economical replacement for desktops which are used only for internet browsing, document editing and some flash gaming. The leader in this field is the Intel Desktop Motherboard Combos. Available from 1.7 GHz single core to 1.8 GHz dual core atom processors with up to 4 GB RAM, the concept of an optimum "price-to-product" anomaly vacillates the decision of choice.
