DID YOU KNOW? 

TECHNOLOGY IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING.  THE NEW COMPUTER YOU BOUGHT TODAY IS NO LONGER THE LATEST TOMORROW.  DID YOU KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE WILL NEVER USE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THEIR COMPUTER? WHY? MANY COMPUTER USERS ARE PEOPLE WHO WISH TO SURF THE INTERNET AND DO A FEW WORD PROCESSING ACTIVITIES. ALL THIS CAN BE DONE EFFICIENTLY WITH A PIII 1GHZ CPU. WE ALWAYS WANT MORE SPEED WHEN ONLINE, BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT A MEMORY OR CPU UPGRADE COULD MAKE A DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE IN YOUR BROWSING EXPERIENCE.

ALSO CONSIDER THIS; MOST USERS WILL NOT TAP THE POTENTIAL OF THEIR NEW COMPUTER AND WILL NOT EVEN PURCHASE A PROGRAM OR GAME THAT USES THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE CPU.

UPGRADE SUGGESTIONS

Here are some basics to consider when making a decision to upgrade your laptop.

MEMORY
MOST PII AND PIII LAPTOP SYSTEM HAS MAXIMUM MEMORY CAPACITY BETWEEN 512MB & 1GB. P4 SYSTEMS WILL TAKE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1GB TO 2GB OF RAM.

NEWER LAPTOPS WITH MULTIPLE CORE PROCESSOR IS ABLE TO UTILIZE BETWEEN 2GB & 8GB OF MEMORY. THIS DEPENDS ON THE CHIPSET AND DESIGN OF LAPTOP.

ALSO, IN ORDER TO USE OVER 3GB OF RAM, A 64BIT OPERATING SYSTEM IS NEEDED (WINDOWS; XP, VISTA OR 7 64 BIT)

 

CPU
PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN UPGRADING A CPU; THE TYPE, SOCKET/SLOT & SPEED ARE IMPORTANT TO THE UPGRADE PROCESS. IN SOME CASES LAPTOPS SHIPPED WITH CORE DUO CPUS CAN BE UPGRADED TO A CORE 2 DUO. IN OLDER SYSTEMS THE TYPE CPU CANNOT BE CHANGED BUT YOU CAN UPGRADE THE SPEED. ADDITIONALLY, SOME LAPTOPS HAS THE CPU SOLDERED TO THE MOTHERBOARD AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE REMOVED.

 

OPTICAL DRIVE

IF YOUR LAPTOP WAS NOT SHIPPED WITH AN EXTERNAL DRIVE YOU MAY WISH TO PURCHASE A EXTERNAL PORTABLE SUPER SLIM OPTICAL DRIVE. NEWER LAPTOPS ARE SHIPPED WITH DVDRW (WRITE/PLAY CDS & DVDS) DUAL LAYER BURNERS AND SOME WITH BLU-RAY PLAYERS (WRITE CDS/DVDS & PLAY CDS/DVD/BLU-RAY DISC). HOWEVER, A FEW LOW END UNITS ARE STILL SHIPPED WITH CDRW/DVD COMBO (WRITE/PLAY CDS & PLAY DVDS) DRIVES.

VIRTUALLY ALL LAPTOPS CAN BE UPGRADED TO A DVD-ROM DRIVE. BUT WHY STOP THERE, WHY NOT CONSIDER AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL LIGHT WEIGHT DVDRW DRIVE. THIS OPTION IS MOSTLY RECOMMENDED FOR HIGHER PIII SYSTEMS AND IS AVAILABLE FOR MOST IF NOT ALL P4 SYSTEMS.

 

HARD DRIVE

UPGRADING NEWER LAPTOPS WITH MULTI CORE CPUS OFFERS COMES WITH MANY OPTIONS. BUT FIRST YOU MUST CHECK THE TYPE DRIVE USED BY YOUR LAPTOP; IDE ATA OR SERIAL ATA (SATA). SOME DRIVES ARE ALSO SOLD WITH SOLID STATE DRIVES (SSD). THE SSD IS MUCH LIKE A FLASH CARD AND CARRIES NO MOVABLE COMPONENTS AND PROMISES GREATER RELIABILITY.

FOR IDE ATA DRIVES MOST UNITS WILL TAKE UP TO A 250GB. MOST NEWER SYSTEMS WHEN USED WITH A 64 BIT OPERATING SYSTEM WILL TAKE UP TO A 1TB DRIVE.

MOST PIII LAPTOPS CAN BE UPGRADED TO A 40GB HARD DRIVE AND THE EARLIER P4 SYSTEMS A 60GB OR 80GB. HOWEVER, ON A NEWER SYSTEM A 100GB HARD DRIVE IS AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE.

BATTERY
SOME LAPTOP MANUFACTURERS MAKE THEIR UNITS WITH A STANDARD BATTERY THAT LAST BETWEEN 1.5 TO 2HRS (4 & 6 CELL). HOWEVER, IN MANY CASES THERE IS THE OPTION FOR AN EXTENDED OR SECONDARY BATTERY. UPGRADING TO AN EXTENDED BATTERY (9 OR 12 CELL) WILL GIVE USAGE TIME BETWEEN 3 & 4.5 HOURS.
