Upgrade

This section of our web site is another example of our company motto " We will take the pain away from your PC". Yes, just pick up the telephone and call us and you are half way there to having the best service imaginable, upgrading, consulting or adding peripherals to your Personal Computer.

Upgrading a PC from time to time is usually an inexpensive way of maintaining the reliability and speed of a PC without the excesses of a new Computer. At present we are usually upgrading a PC to that of a 3 Gigabyte Processor and with 1 Gig Meg of Fast Ram with the necessary trimmings for around £230. If a faster Processor is required the price is increased in line with the parts cost.

Memory upgrades are also a fast economic method of speeding up your PC and we try to keep all the different memory strips in stock ready to pop round to your home or business to fit them simply and quickly.

Do you need to upgrade your printer, scanner, monitor or graphic card etc? Well just call our number and we will make arrangements in a trice?

A faster PC normally requires upgrades of memory and or processor & fan . This upgrade normally requires other parts to be fitted such as Motherboard, Processor, Fan, Memory, Power Supply and sometimes the case. These upgrades usually cost anywhere between £30 to £260, depending upon you individual requirements and the layout of your own PC.

A PC also may needed to be made more of a pleasure to use. These types of upgrade may involve a bigger or different type of monitor for example. Larger Speakers sometimes aid in making those games be more realistic.

Adding a peripheral can make all the difference also. Maybe adding a camera, web camera, scanner, printer or even a digital video camera.

Changing and improving parts may be the answer you are looking for however there is also the improvement in operating system that can make a great deal of difference. The names of Vista, XP, Me 98, 95, 3.1, 2000 and NT may not mean anything to some, however they are the lifeblood of the budding PC user. Upgrading them can be very complicated and time consuming and you may not end up with what you wanted in regard to compatibility, speed or function.

Parts

In many cases we purchase something like a piece of memory and sell it cheaper than when we bought it, sometimes by as much as 100%. This can only be seen as poor business practice and is a fairly good reason that so many PC companies liquidate their businesses. The Computer Parts prices fluctuate that quickly that quoting prices becomes impossible therefore on the day we should be able to telephone you a quote for your required part before you make the decision of whether to proceed with an order.
