What you should keep in mind when upgrading computer components

 

In the past, when we thought about boosting computer performance, the thing we focused on was random access memory (RAM). But nowadays, RAM is no longer the real problem. There are several items worth considering before buying any new computer. Now, let's get to know it in detail.

 

Do you really need to increase the capacity of the RAM?

 

Before you consider increasing the capacity or size of your RAM, you must first make sure that your daily use will actually benefit from the new increase. Do you browse a lot of websites every day and open a lot of tabs at the same time, do you work on the Microsoft Office applications package extensively, do you play modern games, do you work on productive and professional work programs such as design, editing and video editing programs. These are RAM-hungry businesses, and the more RAM your computer has, the faster and smoother it will be during use.

If you now only have 4GB, then upgrading to 8GB might be a great idea, and it will greatly help in boosting your computer's performance levels. If you have 8 GB and are experiencing slow and full RAM while working on business software, upgrading to 16 GB is absolutely necessary. If you are thinking of increasing the capacity of RAM on a laptop, you should first check your laptop manual, and see if the increase is allowed or not and what types and frequencies of RAM recommended by the manufacturer.

 

Therefore, we recommend that you do not buy any laptop at the moment with less than 8 GB, if you are a fan of playing modern AAA games then you need 16 GB, unless you do not care about graphics quality and can enjoy the medium and minimum video settings. If you are dealing with editing programs and editing video in high-quality resolution such as 4K, you need at least 32 GB of RAM, especially if you want to be able to do the rest of your other routine work at the same time Perform the video editing process.

 

As for desktop computers and home platforms, the opportunity is good for you to increase the capacity of the RAM and buy one that has high speeds, high frequencies and low timings. Low timings and high frequencies help in the speed of response to the commands of the central processor when it tries to request processes from random access memory and access them in a faster period of time, and it also helps to store processes in fewer periods of time, and therefore it makes a big difference during overclocking and some other work And with some games. But if your budget does not currently allow for the purchase of high frequencies, then you do not need to burden you with the high costs, because the performance difference on the ground is not tangible and does not help the real experience for any user.

 

Consider buying an SSD

 

If we put all the components and hardware of the computer hardware in one pan, and we put one solid-state storage solution (SSD) in another, the SSD will win, as it is the first and last responsible for increasing the speed of performance of the entire system in most of the works. Don't expect it to bring you higher frame counts in games, nor does it help you finish complex 3D modeling and montage work in faster periods of time, but it helps speed up everything else, from booting up and running Windows, to opening and running Programs and applications in faster time intervals, smoother handling of tools within programs, even saving new work and loading stages, levels, and pages within games in faster time intervals. It is the only piece that brings the pulse of life back to any computer, even if it is out of date. It is not necessary to buy a flagship model from Samsung or Crucial, but any disk storage that fits your budget from Adata, Intel, Kingstone, or others will suffice.

 

You can also change the laptop hard drive to an SSD, and be sure that you will never regret this upgrade. You will feel that the process of installing a new Windows system has become a routine matter and will not feel difficult after that, because setting a new system and installing all your routine and necessary programs will not require more than 15 minutes Maximum.

 

If you have a SATA 6Gb/s SSD, you don't have to think about PCIe 3.0 even if your motherboard has an M.2 PCIe port. Because the performance difference on the ground won't be noticeable, it's better to think about upgrading something else first, and then you can consider M.2 PCIe storage solutions.

 

A stronger central processor or a stronger graphics processor

 

It depends a lot on your type of business and the form of your uses. If you are planning to upgrade your PC for gaming, you should consider both. Most modern games need a central processor of at least 4 to 6 cores, but the idea of ​​buying a central processor is always trying to find the appropriate central processor that does not cause the graphics card (video card) in any noticeable percentage of the bottleneck.

 

Meaning, you don't need a 16-core processor for gaming, unless you're planning to buy a 4K platform and are considering buying one of the modern high-end cards. Although some 8-core processors may be more than enough for this platform. But for the work of montage, content industry or engineering designs, it thirsts to increase the cores of the central processor, and the more cores the central processor contains, the more it has the ability to complete work in faster periods of time. Some engineering designs and 3D modeling work require the frequency of the processor core more than the need to increase the cores. The matter always depends on the type of business and programs used and how they are developed by their developers in the way they benefit from the hardware resources.
