Up Grading an old PC

Q, Is it worth upgrading an seven to eight year old pc?


A, The way in which a Pc is upgraded completely depends on its motherboard.The model should be listed as partof the original Pc's specifications or is marked normally on the motherboard itself.Visit the
motherboard manufacturers website and download the MANUAL or TECHNICAL specifications,Which will tell exactly what type of components can be used,also check for an Bios updates which may support newer or faster components.
Serven or Eight years is a lon g time in the Pc industry.Most of the components or parts for the system will probably have long been discontinued.So ultimately it ends up this way that the upgrade potential of older system is either too modest or too expensive it is of course up to you but a new budget Pc could easily out perform it any day.

Harddisk problems

Q, Hey dude my pc has recently become unreliable,Taking an age to boot up at sometimes or not starting at others.I've tried booting from the windows Cd and the system starts on,So it might be the hard disk that might be wrong?

A,Yeah,you might be wright mostly harddisks are the components which dont last forever depending on there usage and there environment some could last less than five years the basic symptons for disk failures are such as slow start-up's or the inability to boot on some occasions. Sometimes the Bios also gives away the game starting it cannot find an operating system or is unable to boot from the disk.Most of the disks sont fail overnight there by gining an opportunity to copy data off the disk.Even disks that appear to have failed are worth a rechecking either way it's time for new one.
