In this entry, I want to talk about which one is better, either upgrade or buy a new PC. Currently, I do think about buy a new PC because of several reasons. I bought my first PC since 18 years, which means that PC was with me for 6 years and now, it start to become a problem to me. It was too slow and in a big size so it is difficult for me to bring it anywhere.
But before I decide what to do, it's a smart idea to do a bit of soul-searching and take a hard look at why I was unhappy with my existing PC. Is it too slow? Does it have reliability problems? Do I want to play the latest PC games, work with images from my digital camera, or edit video from my camcorder? Those are good reasons to consider an upgrade or new PC purchase.
Now, one of my friend suggest to me to buy new PC because he already upgrade his PC for RM1800++ and I think it is too expensive. If I want to upgrade my old PC, I should think many things such as adding new components or replacing some of its existing ones. I think either upgrade or buy a new PC is depends on the needs of those people. For me, I still prefer to buy new PC because it is an easier way and nowadays the cost of a new PC has dramatically decreased.So, for those people that want to upgrade their PC, here I put some different upgrade options and why you may or may not want to upgrade PC:
MEMORY UPGRADE
A memory
upgrade is one upgrade that can really affect the overall performance
of your computer. Increasing the computers memory can help increase the
speed of a computer and help with the load times of many of your
programs. In addition to being an effective upgrade it's an affordable
and often easy and fast upgrade.
If your computer
could use a small performance boost and your computer has less than 1GB
of memory this can be an effective upgrade and you may want to do this
instead of purchasing a new computer.
VIDEO CARD UPGRADE
If you're playing computer games on your computer an upgraded video card
can be one of the best upgrades for your computer. With the new
improvements and complexities of graphics in games many older computers
or computers with inefficient video cards can become real slow.
Adding a new video card is often an easy to do upgrade and is a lot cheaper than purchasing a new computer.
NEW DISPLAY
Although a new display is not going to improve the performance of a computer adding a LCD or flat-panel display
or increasing the size of your display can make using the computer a much more enjoyable experience.
If
you're display is 17" or smaller, you're using a monitor and not a
flat-panel display, and you have the room to do it, this upgrade is easy
and a lot less than purchasing a new computer. Also if down the road
you do purchase a new computer you will not need a new display.
OTHER UPGRADES
Apart from the above recommendations if you're looking at doing any other upgrades such as CPU, motherboard, sound card, modem, network card
So, I almost always recommend that those people outside there to save your money and purchase a new PC.
