Tips and tricks for your PC

When the software upgrade is less satisfactory and does not get a significant improvement, then there is no other way of upgrading the hardware.
You don't need to buy the latest expensive technology, but select the product has been on the market in recent months or 1 year. Because the price has come down and more affordable.

1. Processor

Upgrade processor can increase the computer system performance between 20 - 40%. Depending on the type and technology used. Choose a dual core or more. In addition to multiple cores, the processing technology are also important. The latest version has 45 nm technology that found in the Intel and AMD brand.
Dual-core technology is often used in video editing, multimedia and images processing. However to change this, refer to the processor and motherboard support socket type.
For more details, read the user manual on your motherboard.



2. RAM (Random Access Memory)

Upgrade memory (RAM) causes increased performance 30 - 40% overall in the system. When this has been circulating in the market DDR 3 memory, where the performance is better than DDR2 and DDR technology. The DDR3 memory modules are cheap and easily obtained. DDR3 technology consume less power with the higher clock speed. Select 2 - 4GB per module.

3. Hardisk
Is your hard drive is full and there is no free space?
Replace with a new one.

Now days many hardisks have been sold in the market with a capacity of large hard drives. Between 250 Gb - 2 Terabyte. You may not need it. You can buy with a medium capacity (up to 500GB), but with the latest interface technology. Speed access is also important to increase system performance. Choose the disk that has been using technology SATA / SATA II, because the ability to transfer rate up to 3 Gb / s. Though SSD technology has been more recent, but SSD is still relatively more expensive.
In the long-used hardisk, there are sectors and the damaged area. This area can not be used and can not be repaired, because it is physically damaged. This can cause data and corrupt your data at risk of missing and damaged.

4. Mainboard / motherboard.

Mainboard upgrade if you want to replace many key components. Replace mainboard with the latest technology. Perhaps you always upgrade memory or hard drives every year, but rarely for the mainboard.
Select mainboard technology that can be used between 3 - 5 years. In addition, the chipset technology that is used is also important. Currently there are 2 main brands, namely from the AMD and NVidia. Choose the mainboard according to the platform processor you used. Mainboard for AMD platform can not be used for the Intel processor, and vice versa.

5. Graphic Card

The development of technology that currently require the use of specifications and a lot of resources, because the 3D graphic visualization more complex. There are 2 main brands for graphic cards at the moment. ATI Radeon and NVidia. Buy using a PCI Express x16 interface, but this depends on the mainboard slot you use.

Tips above may cause an increase overall system performance. But the other factors are maintenance and the default configuration in your PC system. Use a medium setting (best performance) and reduce the use of programs that do not need and also using many system resources in your PC.
