Make Your Computer Happy This Christmas
Every year when Christmas comes around we all hope for that one gift. That pair of shoes that you haven’t been able to afford, that set of power tools for your garage, or that toy you’ve been wanting all year. But what about that one gift for your computer? While computers aren’t alive there are many things that can be bought for them that would make them happy if they were.
Remember if your computer runs great, and is happy, you will be happy as well. So let’s take a look at hardware upgrades for your machine. If you know how to work on computers then there are a range of presents to buy for your beloved machine. First off let’s take a look at the power supply. Many people don’t realize how important this part is. Not just any old power supply is good enough.
While some may say 700 watts on the side, don’t take it as it is. Remember you need one that has enough amps on the 12 Volt rail to support your video card. A good power supply unit generally has 40 amps on the 12 Volt rail. If your computer does not have a video card and is using an onboard chipset, consider buying one. Video cards do more for the computer than make games look good.
They are more capable than an integrated chipset and can take additional strain off of the primary processor, or CPU. Dedicated video cards as they are called also have their own memory installed. This frees up the ram that was being shared by the onboard video card and system, allowing for faster performance. They also can decode complex DVD’s and BLU RAY movies faster.
You can also purchase a dedicated sound card in addition to the video card, and also some new speakers. The 5.1 surround sound card and speaker system will give your games the sound quality they deserve. Of course this will not work the way it should if you don’t have the RAM to make your machine perform at its best. Luckily RAM chipsets are among the cheapest components available for your computer.
So go ahead and give your machine the 4 gigabytes of RAM it deserves for Christmas. You could also buy a 1 terabyte hard drive for your Computer. No longer will you be constrained by those pesky space limitations for your music, games, pictures, and home movies. Finally you could give your computer some extra cooling with additional fans, or higher performance ones.
You can buy high performance mouse and an ergonomic keyboard to upgrade peripheral devices, preferably the transparent ones with the multi-colored LED lights in them. For an interface upgrade, grab a new HDTV monitor. If you’re on a role, consider buying a transparent case with LED fans. Nothing spells Christmas like swapping computer parts between cases while drinking Eggnog.
Always remember that whatever upgrades that you have bought for your computer, it can’t be happy with them. Therefore, be happy with every upgrade you both for your machine. Enjoy the Christmas presents you bought for your computer, have a blast in playing online games, streaming music and videos with your new and improved computer.
