Why Upgrade?

Some software packages - such as professional video or image applications - may recommend or require more memory and faster processors. Hard-core gamers may want to max out the memory or graphics capabilities.

In addition to helping you meet software requirements, maxing out your computer can also help to make you more productive. For example, additional memory can let you do more things simultaneously - and have the computer work faster - when you get busy. People with large media collections will want the largest hard drives available.

 

Hard Drive Upgrades

Larger Drive = More Room

The hard drive is where your computer stores all your data when you're not using it. The capacity of a hard drive, measured in gigabytes, or GB, tells you how much room you have to store your files and applications. A typical application today may take 10 to 50 megabytes (MB); photos may take up about 2-4MB each; graphics files can occupy more than 100MB; and video files are often many gigabytes in size.

RAM Upgrades

More Memory = Work Quickly

RAM (Random Access Memory) is the memory your computer uses to run software applications and store frequently accessed data. Adding RAM improves the performance of your entire experience: opening and working with large files; using the file browser and other elements of your operating system; and running graphics, audio, video, and scientific applications. In addition, more RAM speeds up your computer when you have lots of applications open at the same time.
