Whatever system you own, whether it's a PC or a Mac, there are various components that you should be able to upgrade, including the memory and the primary hard drive. Buying a larger and faster hard drive can make a big difference. Your computer should boot more swiftly, as an example. Problem is that the drive will be partitioned as one large continuous block and the first thing you will want to do is re-configure so you can use a partition for your work, another for your media files and so on.

Within the January 2009 edition of PCW magazine, on-sale right now, you can get the full version of EASEUS Partition Manager 2.1 Professional worth £22. This tool will handle all your partitioning requirements from creating, resizing or deleting existing partitions.
