Buying a complete multimedia PC is easy -- everything (the CPU, CD-ROM drive, sound card, etc.) comes in one "package."" And the store you buy it from can probably set it all up for you.

Most multimedia programs come on a CD ROM, but they still need to copy some files to your hard drive in order to run. If you develop your own multimedia presentations or programs, you will need a great deal of disk space (100's of megabytes probably) to accommodate all the video, animation, sound, and graphics files.
monitor
Your monitor and its video card determine screen resolution and color capability. The minimum requirements are a screen resolution of 640 x 480 displaying 16 colors. Many programs are now recommending SVGA (Super VGA), meaning a higher resolution, or VGA+, meaning 256 colors or more. Your monitor should be able to display at least 256 colors if you will be viewing photographs or video...........
The CD player should be able to move 150 kilobytes of information to your computer every second and do it using only 40% of your computer's processing power. This rate is fairly standard for most CD-ROMs. "Seek time" refers to how long it takes to get from one spot on the CD to another. The minimum is 1 second. This is fairly slow; most drives easily exceed that. This is fairly slow; most drives easily exceed that. you are using software
sound
A sound board is used to play and record sound on your computer. Sound boards are either 8-bit or 16-bit. An 8-bit board is fine for most programs and if you are not going to be recording sound that needs to be of high (CD audio) quality such as speech. A 16-bit board is recommended when recording music or any broad-ranging sound. Sounds of CD audio quality can be played and recorded with a 16-bit sound card. D audio quality can be played and recorded with a 16-bit sound card. rd.
RAM is the resident memory of the computer. The more RAM, the more things the computer can do at one time. This is essential when many multimedia elements run simultaneously, such as music playing while items move across the screen.........
386sx
The 386SX is the minimum requirement for a multimedia system. Speed is everything in multimedia. The faster the processor (e.g. 25 MHz vs. 33 MHz) and the faster the computer (SX vs. DX, or 386 vs. 486), the faster media files will display.

Some multimedia programs that use large
video and animation files run too slowly with
only a 386SX with 2M of RAM and need more
power and memory in order to play smoothly.
ms with sophisticated graphics look much better using a higher resolution with more colors.
Audio files sound better if you have a better quality (16-bit vs. 8-bit) sound card.
Video playing from a single-speed CD-ROM is too slow.
