Notes

3Com 905 10/100 Combo card – this is recommended if you live in a college Hall of Residence which has networking connections available to you.

56k Modem – This is recommended as an option, in place of network card, if you use your PC at home and would like access to the internet and emails.

A 17” monitor is recommended if you can afford it, as this will offer better viewing of Internet pages.
