Hardware Updates

RAM: Ram stands for “Random Access Memory,” to use functions and operations. When you have a lot of Ram, you can use more applications at the same time. You can either replace the Ram with a better Ram with more memory or add Ram sticks to additional empty slots in your computer to boost performance. Some Laptops allow users to add extra Ram, but I would recommend taking it into I-5 Computers to see all your options.

Hard drive: Hard Drives on Computers and Laptops are interchangeable. Which means you will be able to swap them out with ease. The bigger the hard drive, the more programs you can have on your PC without crashing. Just keep in mind the more memory with Ram, Hard Drives, Solid State Drives, the better period. You can install more than one hard drive on a desktop computer.

Optical disc drive: The year is 2021, and if you are still using DVD’s I would begin to think about upgrading to an entirely new computer. Just like VHS, Tape Records, etc, these things will soon be a distant memory in the past. Remember the good ol’ days when we had a walkman. Regardless if you need an updated Optical Disc Drive to burn disks or watch movies, I-5 Computer has you covered.

Processor: The processor has one of the most significant impacts on your computer as far as performance and speed. It also is a straightforward piece of hardware to change. When purchasing processors, you need to make sure that it matches the socket on the motherboard. Give us a call if you are unsure or fill out the question form below.
