Upgrading Various Components of Your Computer
Upgrading RAM We have understood by now, that more memory will
enable your computer to work faster. How much memory you need is
really a factor of the nature of work that you do on you
computer. Two factors are worth considering: the first, that if
your computer does not have enough memory, it will run slowly.
Conversely, if you computer already has enough memory, then
adding more will not necessary enhance performance. In this
case, your microprocessor or graphics may be slowing your
computer down. Hence, do consider these factors and use common
sense while upgrading. That said, since memory chips have become
a lot cheaper, it makes sense to install a little more than you
anticipate you will need. If you do not have a large enough
budget, then of course there is the option of upgrading later.
Upgrading your microprocessor A faster microprocessor means a
faster computer, given that the other components (memory,
graphics card etc) are up to date. First you need to assess
whether it is really your microprocessor that is slowing down
your computer. It may be that you have a good microprocessor but
a slow graphics
card or insufficient memory. On the hand, if your
microprocessor is slow, and your other components are relatively
efficient, then it would make sense to upgrade the
microprocessor. The idea is to achieve a balanced
PC in which all the components are relatively equivalent in
terms of performance. If you just want more speed, and all your
other important components are up to date, then a microprocessor
upgrade would well do the job.
Upgrading your graphics card If you
are playing hi-tech games
and finding that the animation is slow, then your graphics card
probably needs to be upgraded. Upgrading the graphics card in
such a situation would certainly enhance the speed of your
computer. If you work a lot with images and find that it takes
time to update, then also the graphics card could do with an
upgrade. However, if your word processing or spreadsheet
functions have slowed, then your graphics card is not the
culprit and upgrading it will not help.
Upgrading your hard drive When most of your hard disk space has
been used up, then it would be wise to upgrade your hard drive.
But there is another option - you might consider getting a CD
burner instead. This way, you could store a lot of the data that
you don't often use on CDs and free that much space on the hard drive.
However, upgrading the hard drive in such situation may be the
wiser thing to do.
Speed is another consideration for hard drive upgrades. The new
hard drives available today are faster than the older ones.
Upgrading your motherboard Quite a lot of work goes into
upgrading the motherboard. If you need more slots for more
expansion cards or if you want a faster motherboard, then an
upgrade would be needed. Consult with your retailer about
whether or not installing a new motherboard with a faster bus
would be useful for you.
