Is your PC or Mac feeling old and tired? Here are two ways to inject new life into an aging computer.
Got an old PC that feels old and tired, and you think it might be time to buy a new one? Here are two things that you can do to turbo-boost your PC, and it both will cost you a lot less than buying a new PC. Let’s take a look at how to breathe new life into your old PC. If your PC has less than 4GB of RAM, upgrading this — if it’s possible — up to 4GB is a worthy upgrade. RAM upgrades are quick and easy and also pretty cheap. If you already have 4GB, then the gains you get from pushing this higher have diminishing returns unless you are into high-end gaming or have specific workloads such as video rendering. The sad fact is that an increasing number of devices can no longer accept RAM upgrades. Macs are the worst culprits, but Apple is not alone in making upgrades tricky. Not sure if your PC can take an upgrade? If it was made by one of the major OEMs, then a RAM vendor like Crucial or Kingston (or for Macs, you can check out OWC).
