    Tower PC system.
  • Manage the performance of your PC by increasing the memory level, processor speed, and hard drive storage capacity. For more details go to systems support services.

  • Various types of systems upgrades:

    - Motherboard and Central Processing Unit (CPU). PC motherboard.
    The motherboard holds the various hardware components of the computer system- eg the CPU, memory chips, graphic or video cards (for screen displays), modem (enables your PC to access the Internet), sound cards, keyboard, mouse, power supply unit, CD ROM/ DVD ROM drives, hard drives, floppy drives, printer and scanner ports etc (all connected to the electronic circuit on the main board). Some of the components like memory chips, graphic and sound cards etc are fixed into the expansion slots on the motherboard.
    There are various types of motherboards, depending on the manufacturing company. For example, the Intel company manufactures its own motherboards and the corresponding processors- i.e. Pentium I, II, III and IV CPUs.
    There are other companies like AMD, which produce other types of CPUs- brains of PCs, also partly determine speed of PCs.motherboard and CPUs. Each motherboard has to match its CPU, in order for the system to work properly.

    • Normally, the higher the processor speed (e.g. CPU speed measured in Megahertz- MHz) the faster the computer system runs. This means Pentium III 500MHz processor is faster than Pentium II 500MHz processor etc. Currently, Pentium IV is the highest processor on the market. By upgraging the processor, you can avoid spending unnecessary money buying a new PC. Simply upgrade the existing system.

    Upgrade can take place, for example, by replacing Pentium II with Pentium III motherboard, or Pentium IV replacing Pentium III motherboard etc- for better processing performance.

    - Memory chips
    Memory, commonly referred to as RAM (Random Access Memory chips partly detemine speed of PCs. Memory), plays an important role in PC's performance. In addition to the CPU, it determines the processing speed of the computer system. The higher the RAM, the faster the PC runs. However, to get the best out of your memory, it needs to be synchronised with the CPU.
    Upgrading both the CPU and memory will make your old PC super fast.

    - Hard drive
    Measures the storage capacity of your computer- in bytes, Hard Drive or Hard Disk of PC, for data storage. Megabytes or Gigabyte etc. The hard drive, found inside the PC, is where all your systems-data reside. This includes your operating systems and applications or programmes. If the hard drive in your present (old) PC has a small storage capacity, you can buy a bigger one and replace the current one. This means you have upgraded your present PC in terms of storage capacity.
    Of course, this is a technical matter. You need to have the knowledge, in order to do the upgrade.

    - CD/ DVD ROM drive.
    Like other hardware devices, the CD/ DVD ROM can be added to your PC system to enhance its multi-media functionality- e.g. music, video etc.

    - Operating System (O/S)
    This is the main software that has to be pre-installed on your PC, before you to instal and use other programmes/ applications (like Word Processor, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, even computer games). Microsoft Windows 98 O/S currently running on your present PC can be upgraded to Windows Millennium, Windows 2000 Professional or even Windows XP, in order to enhance performance. Microsoft has now launched the most recent O/S- Windows Vista.

    - Applications/ Programmes
    The purpose of your PC system is to enable you to use the desired applications or programmes like Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, the Internet, Computer Programming software etc. You can use newer versions of applications or programmes by installing them on your PC, as long as your O/S can support them.

  • Recommendation
    - If your current PC is not too old, you can do a combination of the above upgrades to enhance it's performance. You do not have to change your PC hardware (i.e. buy new ones) often. However, you need to upgrade the software or programs regularly.

    • - On the other hand, if money is not a problem, then upgrade may not be necessary. You can buy new PCs as many times as possible. We are concerned about home-users, who are on tight budget and cannot afford to buy brand new computers.
