So, you've got an older
system, it doesn't run all that bad, and you want to
patch it up and get another year or so out of it
before you make the big move to upgrade? Call us up,
depending on your situation, we may be able to help
you out. If not, we can give you an HONEST estimate
(not a bunch of salesmanship) of what your options
are.
Also, I'll give you a secret
- I call it my "1, 2, 3 rule" of computer
repair. Basically, it
goes like this:
If you have 1 item of hardware (and
sometimes software) that you REALLY need to get up to
speed, such as more RAM, a burner, or maybe to move up
to a more stable OS (like moving from
Windows XP, or Vista up to Windows 7 or 8, or else Linux or FreeBSD) then I
most likely will advise to do it.
Now, if there are 2
items that you need to upgrade - for instance you have
256 megs of RAM on a single core processor based
computer that has is running XP, and you want to upgrade to
1 Gig and a dual or quad core processor running at 2.3
Ghz, then
I would have to give you options since at this level
you could spend a LITTLE more and jump a few
generations of chips and have an investment instead of
a boat anchor. What usually will tell here is finances
and whether you have access to used parts.
And then
comes 3 - by the time you need to upgrade 3 rather
important computer parts, you usually are well over
halfway to paying for a relatively new system -
especially if you don't buy a new monitor and printer
EVERYTIME you buy a PC.
