With the rapid development of computers and software (applications) that are used, sometimes "force" we as computer users to continuously improve computer. Specification standard computer purchased 2 or 3 years ago, may be if used for applications at this time began to feel slow.
Can only buy a new computer and old computer for sale. But the price of computer time may be decreased sharply, then the alternative is to upgrade the computer components. What is the need to upgrade tips and how to choose the right computer components?
Here I will only discuss the 3 main components to the most influential performance of the computer or the applications that run on the Computer, which are: Memory (RAM), CPU (processor) and VGA (graphics cards). Although other components such as hard drives and motherboards are also influential, but the 3 components of the impact is greatest. Following explanation of each and the impact on the computer.
UPGRADE MEMORY (RAM)
Memory is the computer components that are easy to upgrade. To check how much memory the computer, right-click My Computer> Properties will display information about the computer and memory used (Windows). But that figure is used memory windows, because the capacity can only partly shared with the VGA motherboard.
Memory is very influential to the performance of the computer, because every application process that is in the hard drive, will always be first stored in memory and in the process by Processor. If using Windows XP and the computer memory is only 128 MB, then to run standard programs are likely to feel heavy. If you run an application such as Corel Draw, Photoshop and other graphics applications with the 256 MB Memory is less optimal.
To find out how much memory usage, can be checked via Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del), and views the Performance tab> PF Usage. If beberepa used to run computer applications and memory is almost always fully used, the memory upgrade can increase performance quite large.
To upgrade memory, buy memory live in accordance with the memory of a computer, and install memory in addition to the existing, as is typically provided at least 2 memory slot (where installed memory). To note is the type of memory used. For older computers, usually using the SDRAM, while the current average type of DDR SDRAM (or often referred to as DDR only). DDR is for DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3, and this must be the same type of memory in the computer.
How do I know the type of memory in the computer?
If you still have a guidebook (manual) motherboard, then there is described on the specification of components are supported, including Memory Type. Alternatively the software is free CPU-Z which can be downloaded from here or http://www.cpuid.com/. With this application can be the type of memory and the size / capacity.
If the computer still has 512 MB of memory or less, then the memory upgrade will usually be enough to help increase computer speed.
UPGRADE CPU (processor)
Processor will be large enough to affect the performance of the computer. But for the processor upgrade is not as easy as upgrading memory, because for removing and installing some of the CPU must sometimes requires special techniques. To note is the similarity in the CPU socket on the motherboard. To find out can be seen in the book Manual program with the motherboard or CPU-Z.
Upgrading the CPU will increase the speed of almost all computer programs, especially programs that use very complex calculations, such as Matlab, animated 3D Rendering, Programming, Image Processing / Image in Photoshop, Processing the graph with a lot of Corel Draw and more.
UPGRADE VGA (Graphic Card)
VGA (graphics cards) are the components that process the image and display it on the monitor. VGA will mempergaruh ability to image generated in the monitor, usually to display 3D animations, 3D Games, 3D graphics with the high complexity and the other. If not using the applications, the standard VGA or become a regular one with the motherboard (on-board) is usually sufficient.
To note when upgrading the VGA slot is used. AVG have slots, PCI, PCI-E and PCI-E 2. To find out can be seen in the motherboard manual which is included in the direct view or the motherboard. And often incorrect, only the rate of Memory VGA only. Because the more important is VGA and the Memory Clock Frequency GPU (the processor is in the VGA). For example, with 128 MB VGA Memory Clock 500 MHz and 400 MHz GPU will be faster than the 256 MB VGA Memory Clock 400 MHz and 300 MHz GPU Frequnecy. If you are familiar with the VGA, Bus Width (wide data path) is also a VGA to speed.
