Upgrading your current computer system is largely a matter of deciding what components need to be upgraded in order to solve the problems that you are experiencing. You must first determine what upgrades your computer is in need of.
Upgrading can include Memory: Upgrading the memory of your PC is one of the easiest and least expensive upgrades that you can make. Upgrading memory is so effective because improving the amount of memory in your computer system will not only allow your computer to perform more functions, but it will be able to do these functions faster. Instructions for installing more memory are fairly simple and will accompany the specific computer memory upgrade materials that you decide to purchase. Upgrading Hard Drive space is another simple but highly effective upgrade for your computer. You can either choose to purchase an internal hard drive or an external hard drive. For installation, you will need to know whether your computer uses a SATA rive or an IDE drive. Your computer specifications should help you to determine which drive type to use. A RAM upgrade can be a quick and easy way to speed up your computer. This is the best route to making any computer faster because more RAM means less time that your computer must pause to access the hard drive. Upgrading a Processor is not easy, and should be approached with caution. A faster chip will help make the computer process applications faster, but the additional speed may be negligible without sufficient RAM. The difficult part about installing a new processor is finding one that will work with your motherboard. Upgrading the CD/DVD drive is probably the least expensive upgrade that can be done to a computer system. CD/DVD drives are just as easy to install as a hard drive. Video cards are a less common upgrade unless you are looking for extra performance or functionality with 3D applications E.G: gaming or drafting. Upgrading Network Card from 10 Mbps to a 100Mbps will vastly increase the speed you can share documents in the office, or using the Internet. You will also have to make sure that your networking infrastructure can support the faster speeds. Upgrading your Graphics Card can bring major improvements to your system. If you have "on-board" graphics, a discrete graphics card will free some memory from your system. If you are upgrading an existing card, be sure that your motherboard can support the new card you are installing.
Building a New Computer System or Upgrading an Old Computer System:
Selection and Justification:
We will go with building a new computer system rather than upgrading the old computer system because sometimes, upgrading a poorly running computer seldom fixes any problems but many times, make it worst especially when you don’t know what you are doing.
Most computers work much better with the factory installed Operating System than after upgrading to a later Operating System. Because upgrading from an older Operating System to a newer one usually leaves much of the older system in place, and can cause all sorts of delicate problems which can damage your rest of the system.
Moreover, if we talk about the cost and the overall cost of upgraded parts is more than 50% of the cost of building a new one yourself and makes it a better system as you choose and get all the parts by yourself, it is better to build a new computer system instead of upgrading.
