Use Hardware Upgrade:
The Processor: This is the ‘brain’ of your computer. If does not matter
how fast the rest of your computer is, if the processor is slow then it will
not be able to keep up with all of the processes. Your processor may need
upgrading if you are constantly hitting the high percentage of processor usage
when you are running only a few programs. To be honest, the processor is quite
difficult to replace. Well, not so much difficult, just a bit expensive. If you
need to go down this route then you may as well just purchase a whole new
computer.
RAM: You should always check the specification of computer software to
check whether you have enough RAM to run it properly. The more programs you are
running at once, and the more sophisticated those programs, the more RAM you
are going to need. In this day and age I suggest at least 4GB of RAM at the
minimum. You could probably get away with 2GB, but you are not going to have
much flexibility in the running of your computer.
Upgrade hard drive : Of course,
increasing the size of your hard drive, particularly if you find yourself
consistently lacking space, is a good idea. You will want to make sure that you
look into the ‘speed’ of the hard drive the higher the RPM, the faster it is.
This will speed up your computer. In addition to this you may want to look into
the option of installing a solid state drive. These are blazingly fast, but
they can set you back a bit of money. If you want to get a solid state hard
drive then you may want to wait for technology to improve over the next couple
of months so you can get something that is of a fairly decent size.
