Components

From the last post I can add to it buy sharing what other components that can be added to your new machine or old machine.

Although when there are many things that someone like yourself can add to a computer one of the most important components that I have seen that people need is more RAM. This can allow for multiple operations to happen at once. This is were you can have iTunes open, Internet Explorer, Winamp and others simultaneously with smooth transition between all of them. This also allows the computer to complete calculations at the same time running in the background without you noticing anything. No lose of performance.

Another important is an internal HDD, which holds your information and programs on this component. With having all of the information you will need a rather large HDD in the computer to hold everything. This will allow for more storage later when you need it.

To access the internet you will need either a network interface card (NIC) or a modem. With the modem a dial-up Internet service provider is needed (ISP). With the NIC card you will have to have a broadband ISP with a external modem to gain access. The NIC card also has the capabilities to connect to other computers whether it be through a crossover cable, wired network through a wired router or wireless router.

Sound cards are another way to improve your computers sound. If the computer is old and becoming out of date, which if it is older than three months old they are usually out of date. The computer, whether out of date or not, can have a new sound card thrown into it to achieve surround sound to enhance gaming and movie etc. capabilities. This can make a world of difference to the user.

Ah, video cards, this is another way to improve the video performance. With the new operating system (OS) Microsoft Vista, todays computers needed a boost in video performance. Just adding Vista to new computers or older ones the video cards had to be beefed up. With the fast video cards users can use more advanced OS's and games like Microsoft's Flight Simulator.

With these few compnent upgrades your computer will run a little faster. The computer will be able to display cleaner images, hold more information and be able to let you on the Internet. Hopefully this has helped.
