Surfing the Web.
Surfing the Internet requires the fastest modem you can get. If a cable Internet connection or DSL line is available in your area, you should definitely consider this type connection if your plans are to spend a lot of time on the Internet. Even infrequent Internet visitors should consider nothing less than a 56K modem, which is the fastest modem currently made for a regular telephone line.

Music
You and your computer can make beautiful music together. If you want the best sound quality, get the best sound card and speakers that you can afford. You won't necessarily need the best CPU or the most RAM, but don't skimp too much in these areas, as playing music will also use a lot of system resources. If you want to create your own music CDs, a writable CD-ROM is a necessity.
Movies
Most folks when asked will say they don't want to watch movies on their computer. Yet once they have seen the quality that a DVD drive and large computer monitor bring to a movie, they may change their mind. (Most DVD drives can also play CDs, so a DVD drive can take the place of a regular CD-ROM drive.)
For Everyone
- Backup - Invest in a way to back up your computer. Consider a Writable CD-ROM. They have just become affordable and are a great medium for backing up your computer and storing large files, no matter how you use your computer.
- Monitor - Remember that investing in a good monitor will make computing more fun and your eyes will thank you.
