Upgrades

Whether you need a memory upgrade, a change of operating system e.g. Vista), or something more substantial like a new monitor, PC or laptop, let us help you chose the right option and install it for you.

Here is a list of upgrades we recommend:

Operating System Upgrades and Memory Required

Running Windows 95, 98, Millennium Edition?

Advice: Your system is now out of support with Microsoft, you no longer receive any patches to make your system secure. If your system specification will allow you to, upgrade to Windows 2000 (even though this is also out of support it is much safer than what you currently have), if possible upgrade to Windows XP, but it is unlikely your system will have a high enough spec to run this operating system, this makes it virtually uneconomical to upgrade and it's time to purchase a new system. Call us for recommendations.

Running Windows 2000?

Advice: Similar to the above advice, if the system you have can be upgraded to XP, this is a must to maintain system security. If this isn't possible, it's time to purchase a new system. Call us for recommendations.

Running XP?

Advice: Make sure all the Microsoft patches have been installed, for good system performance increasing system memory is the cheapest and most efficient way to do so. 256MB is the minimum to run the operating system, so increasing this to 1GB will make a huge difference.

Make sure you have enough disk space, with people downloading music and video files and storing photos this can quickly fill your hard drive, reducing performance, look at upgrading to 250GB - now is a good time as disk prices have crashed recently.
