Upgrades

If your PC is getting slow, you may be thinking of buying a brand new machine. This may not be the most cost effective way to proceed.

An upgrade could be enough to give your PC a whole new lease of life.

Memory

With Microsoft's regular security updates and service packs, your PC needs ever more memory. Increasing the amount of RAM in your machine is a proven way to get a speed boost without breaking the bank.

CPU

Another option would be a faster processor. For example upgrading from a single core to a dual core can give great benefits.

Hard Disk

Running out of storage space? A bigger hard drive will give you the space to expand that ever growing MP3 collection.

Graphics Card

Replacing an aging graphics card or moving from onboard video to a more advanced solution will give an instant boost in all your games or video applicationss.

Sound Card

You can install a better sound card for a number of reasons, Movie buffs may want 7.1 Surround Sound, Audiophiles would benefit from high quality, high bitrate cards.

Card Reader

Your mobile phones, MP3 players and digital cameras are all likely to use memory cards, this upgrade allows you to use the same cards directly in your PC.
