And why do you want to upgrade? :confused: If its email,surfing the net,etc, low intensity stuff dont bother . If its gaming like Doom3,Half Life2 thats a different story . You upgrade what you can that makes the best improvment for the money spent ie . graphics card usually . :D |

| 308909 | 2004-12-31 01:42:00 | The general answer is: It all depends. Fast disks don't speed up running if the applications don't do a lot of disk I/O. Faster memory doesn't help much if the applications don't do a lot of memory access. Neither helps if applications are "compute bound". Faster disks are probably better than slow ones. Faster memory is possibly better than slow memory. Faster CPUs are usually better than slow ones. More memory is almost always better than less. More money is better than less.:D |
