Computer hardware upgrade
upgrading your computer hardware component is easy, if you know what to do!


   Due at the speed changing of tecnology ,upgrading is never an easy decision. I remembered it takes 4 years before i decided to change my first old PC. Even though prices have fallen considerably, it would still cost us no less than a couple of hundread for something decent, the nighmare doesn't end here, my parents just keep nagging me and they still haven't gave up til now, i know there's still years to come .

With limited financial support, now i only upgrade certain computer hardware component that's necessary. Even though most component can be upgraded, many PC user still consider replacing certain parts would be too complicated and costing too much. In this case, it makes more sense to get a whole new computer.

Another problem plagues to hardware upgrade is the fact many people don't even touch the innards of a computer. When i was a kid, i remembered upgrading my computer hardware for the first time, i'm so nervous and thought i'll break the motherboard or burn my CPU. However, with little knowledge, it's going to be much easier than you think. Especially hardware nowadays made it eaiser to install and you don't have to worry about compatible problem.

Far more likely than damaging your computer is the risk that upgrade won't work and you'll be waste of money. You may be unable to install the CPU or a new video card is not supported by your motherboard. Before upgrading any hardware components, be sure to check what your motherboard support.
