CompTIA A+ Simulation 6

A customer has requested two custom PCs, one for his family room and one for his home office. The family room PC will be used by all the family members and should be able to playhigh definition movies and show family pictures. The office PC is used for the customer’s architectural design business and should be able to handle the intensive design work and multitasking the customer performs. The office PC must be configured with more power efficient computing than the family room PC.
