It's a well known saying that the minute you purchased your computer it's already obsolete. But wait a minute! This may have been true or true-er in the nineties but it's not necessarily true anymore. If you purchased your PC between 2001 and 2002, and run Windows xp, you should be able to upgrade in most cases more cheaply than buying new. Why the cutoff date? It's highly subjective: a computer built in 1998-99-2000 is still upgradeable, but sometimes it does not make sense financially because it could be cheaper to buy new. People usually think about buying new or upgrading because their PC is slowing down. If that's your case, and it often is, you can read the topic 'Why is my computer so slow?' on this page for suggested solutions. Increasing RAM- random access memory, not to be mistaken with your hardrive size which is storage space, could transform your PC from sluggish to jumpy in no time. The cost of memory chips is very reasonable. If you want more info on how much memory you should have or how to increase your computer's memory you can find info on these topics on this page.
