Thinking about Upgrading your system? Here is what you need to know...

Although computers have become much more affordable as technology has advanced, not everyone is ready to purchase a new computer. Moving important data, learning new software, and possible software compatibility issues can be intimidating.

Upgrading your system may give you an opportunity to max out your investment.

One of the easiest and most cost effective ways to upgrade your system is to increase the RAM. Most older systems will be 32 bit and can handle a maximum of up to 4GB of RAM.

Additional data storage can usually be easily accommodated by most computers, via additional internal hard drive storage, or via external options.

Another relatively easy upgrade is to invest in a more powerful video card. Older systems will be constrained to AGP graphics; newer systems relying on the PCIE architecture.

There are various ways you can get infected, but if you are getting many popup advertisements or your system is taking a long time to boot, i'd suggest running some of these free for home use utilities.
