Upgrade is an improvement in performance

Upgrade is an improvement in performancecomputers and laptops by replacing hardware elements with more powerful or new components. It can be a motherboard, a processor, a video card, RAM, etc. For example, if your computer has become slower to work with new operating systems, then most likely, RAM requires an upgrade. This means that you must remove the memory card from the computer and put in its place a new one that has more capacity and frequency.

If everything is simple with the computer, then withportable devices the situation is different. For example, you can take an upgrade laptop Asus, although the brand has no special value. As you know, in laptops, all components are much smaller than in a computer. Therefore, the price will be appropriate. And getting inside the device will be more difficult than in the computer system unit. If you do not have the skills, then it's better to entrust this matter to a specialist.

When there is a need to make operationalmemory upgrade? These are the cases when the computer is equipped with a memory, the size of which is one gigabyte or less. This will already be lacking for the use of a modern operating system and programs. But you need to consider that if you have a 32-bit system, the maximum that it will "see" from RAM is 3.75 gigabytes. To make it more accessible, install a 64-bit operating system on your computer.

If you do not have enough hard disk space, thismeans that its volume is not sufficient for your needs. I did an Acer laptop upgrade, but I repeat, the manufacturer is unprincipled. Open the bottom cover of the laptop and pull out the old hard drive from the connectors, after which you insert a new, more voluminous disk into this place. Please note that when performing this procedure, the laptop should be disconnected from the mains and its battery must be removed. Now, as a rule, Sata connectors are used, but in earlier models IDE was used. This nuance must be taken into account, since the connectors do not fit together.

How do I know when a DVD rum needs an upgrade?It's simple. If you insert completely readable disks into it, and it twists them for a long time, but can not read, then this will be a sign that it needs to be replaced. With this detail, as a rule, no complications arise, and it costs less than all components, so we will not dwell on it in detail.

For those who like to play powerful games, the question withupgrade graphics card is always sharp. After all, every year the games require more and more resources, so the old video cards with time cease to "pull" the novelties of the game world. If you have an integrated graphics card, then after installing the external one, the built-in must be disabled in the settings so that they do not conflict with each other.

As for the processor and motherboard,then it is better to turn to a specialist, because you need to pick them up so that they are compatible with each other. And in the notebook this procedure is more complicated than in a conventional computer.
