| We all know that the pace of technology marches relentlessly on. A PC that is
5 years old is regarded as a vintage model, despite costing three times as much
as a similar model today.
 But it is not always necessary to replace your entire machine. A lot can be
gained with a little judicious spending.
For example, slow machines can often be given a new lease of life by
increasing the amount of installed memory (RAM).
Replacing the video graphics card could suddenly enable your machine to run
games that would have been too slow to play before.
Replacing an old CD-ROM drive with one of the new DVD drives is a cheap and
effective way of bringing a whole new capability to your machine.
We all use USB devices but earlier machines had slow USB ports. Installing
one of the new USB 2.0 cards will allow you to transfer files from your IPOD or
other music player many times faster.
Adding a simple microphone to your machine would allow you to use
Skype to make cheap rate
calls to anywhere in the world.
Don't write your old machine off until you talk to CompuGuide - there might
be a more cost effective solution!
