The world of computers can be very complicated and intimidating for the average user. Especially when it comes to trying to make changes to your existing setup. In this article, we'll go over some of the steps one should take when they're not getting what they want out of their system.
Deciding Your Needs
We're all different, and as a result, we've all got different needs. Are you a person who loves to game? What about someone who just needs a system to get notes down during class? Deciding your needs is the easy part; most people know what they want to get out of a system.
Meeting Your Needs
When it comes to most computers, 4 main components will affect the performance of the system:
- 1RAM – The working memory your system has.
- 2Hard Drive – The memory your system has for storage.
- 3CPU – Processes tasks/commands/code.
- 4GPU – Renders images, animations, and video for the computer's screen.
When assessing your needs with your current system, you will likely find that whatever problem you're having is a result of having one or more of these components underperforming and causing something called a bottleneck.
