    has fancy displays and great graphics, the PC is catching up and it seems that the Pentium 4 and Pentium 4M processors can compete to some extent in terms of  graphics. Still, there is a lot to remember when purchasing a computer with 4 or 4M processors. For example, it is recommended that for the best LCD  quality, a user should buy a graphics card with DVI-out talking to a digital LCD (McLaughlin, 2003). The author explains that by doing this, one will not lose  image nuances that may disappear in analog conversion (2003). For the best PC graphics, a user should look for a card that offers hardware as opposed to software  support for DirectX 9 (McLaughlin, 2003). This is Microsofts latest application programming interface (2003). Hardware support helps the card to achieve the best speed, lighting effects, and textures (2003). Graphics  are nice to have and good to use when gaming or creating films. If a user plans to play PC games or watch video clips via the Web, they  should try to get a card that has DDR memory (McLaughlin, 2003). Some low-end graphics cards continue to use SDR SDRAM (2003). In addition to providing wonderful graphics, 4  and 4M processors are useful in a computer utilized for general purposes. The new Intel pentium 4 processor is at 3 GHz with an advanced 800 MHz system that  offers higher levels of performance, creativity and productivity as well ("Intel Pentium," 2003). Based on Intel(r) NetBurst(tm) microarchitecture in addition to Intels 0.13-micron technology, the Pentium 4 processor delivers significant  performance gains for use within the home or business (2003). The Pentium 4 processor also supports Hyper-Threading Technology and allows a user to multitask more efficiently when
