Hardware and Component Upgrades

Most computers are modular by design and build. If an internal system part or component fails - it can often easily be replaced with a new one. This also means that you can upgrade and mod your computer if you want to improve its performance.

Possible Upgrades:

Supply and fit additional System Memory (RAM)*

One of the simplest and most cost-effective upgrades for a computer that’s fine for your current needs - but could do with a little more performance – especially when you notice sluggish performance when you have a number of applications and programs running at the same time - is to increase the amount of system memory (RAM) installed.

Supply and fit a larger capacity Hard Drive*

Are you running out of hard drive space for all your files and personal data? Well, you have a couple of options:

- You can buy an external hard drive and transfer all your personal files onto this drive – freeing up space on your internal drive.

- Or you can fit an additional internal hard drive (subject to space in your computer’s case) and transfer all your personal files to this drive.

- Lastly, you can have your entire computer software system (operating system, files, pictures, videos, etc.) cloned onto a larger capacity hard drive.

You might also want to consider replacing your current laptop's or PC's hard drive with a newer Solid-State Drive (SSD). SSD hard drives offer performance improvements and silent operation - compared to conventional mechanical hard drives. At present, SSD drives are more expensive than conventional mechanical drives with the same capacity - but SSD hard drive prices continue to fall as more manufacturers enter the market.

* Applies to most PCs, Laptops/Notebooks/NetBooks and Apple Macs.
