to Upgrade Computer
You should
consider upgrading your computer vs buying a new computer if 2 or
more of the following criteria is met.
- The
computer is less than 1.5 years old.
- The
computer has become sluggish when it used to be faster. (Usually
an upgrade and a general clean up will bring it back to life).
- The
motherboard and processor are still fairly recent technology
(research your processor online is the fastest way to compare to
what is currently offered)
- Recent
changes in your workflow require more power or memory (in other
words you have installed a large program like Photoshop, or
multitasking levels increase)
When
to Buy a New Computer
You should consider buying a new computer if any
of this criteria is met.
- Buy a new computer if your computer is more
than 2 years old. The money you would need to spend bringing it
up to speed is not cost effective.
- If you have taking on a new job position and
need to know that you have enough computer power. Don't take any
chances buy a new computer.
- If your multitasking needs have increased to
the point where your computer is just not keeping up. Buy a new
computer.
- If you need multiple displays built into
your computer.
About Buying a New Computer
Buying a new computer is not as difficult as it
used to be since fierce competition between manufacturers has off the
shelf computers priced fairly reasonable.
If you are a professional and
you need a seriously fast computer, have one built for you is a much
better way to go. For example if you need a multiple display
computer system look at our
QuadStation Systems first.
