When it comes to upgrading your computer, there are a number of variables to consider. Firstly, what is your machine primarily used for? A lot of people end up buying a new computer simply because it's on sale, only to find that this so called 'good deal' ships with useless equipment and software bundles rather than upgraded hardware that would better suit their needs. One way of finding out which areas are more important to you would be to use a system information tool, this would help you to identify memory and CPU usage as well as other information. 28 Jan 2009
