Advice to extend the time of your computer

A lot of people that use computers they have to face each day that their equipment is already old. And is not that the machines become elderly, but the technology advance makes the computer world obsolete each minute.
How long does the machine last before becoming obsolete in the market? Honestly the answer is faster than we want or before we can imagine that.
And if you don’t believe it, you can consult specialized magazines of computation, they always have in their contents the announce of the chip with more MHZ y and faster, cheaper RAM memory, video cards with but memory and even CD-ROMs or DVD with more speed of reading, as well as the new versions of its favorite programs that need the double resources that the previous versions.

All this sooner or later took it to see himself a slow equipment as opposed to that no longer satisfies its necessities and then it will have to do the form to obtain another new one.

But, there is some form to avoid that the time finishes so quickly with our equipment?.

In fact it is very simple to obtain that our equipment renders more time and next some advice:
It is certain that the new versions of software and its favorite programs offer wonders that will make all their tasks more easily (although 50% of these wonders are purely advertising), but before updating itself it pregúntese if really it needs those new options, since the updates are generally the same program with many utilities extra that only do to the slowest application, great and using of resources.

After all, the new versions and updates of the programs are reallya computer of resident programs in memory is not due to fill since they were loaded next to the operating system and they will be always always active in the system, which lowers the yield of the machine.

When installing an application with diverse utilities is due to avoid to install resident programs in memory selecting the customized installation.

Really to control these applications, a program called Freeware "StarUp Manager" exists that was in charge to administer these applications.- a recommendation is to try to have the applications necessary in a machine and not to install for example 2 or more types of word processors or spreadsheets of different manufacturers unless they are required by the user. This saved space in the disc and will allow a greater speed of access to the disc. In fact, to help to maintain the disc in optimal conditions it is necessary to defragment it regularly and also to review it with the ScanDisk by errors.

Happening to the Hardware of the machine and what really he becomes old and obsolete; many people notice that the modernization or update by parts of the equipment is not worth long term its price.

One is due to avoid unless it is very necessary the purchase of increases of capacity or memory that does not mean an improvement of the equipment.
For example, if or 64 or 128 are had Mb of ram, it is not really necessary an increase. On the contrary, if it uses Windows 98 and other applications with 32 Mb of ram, you do not doubt in increasing the memory to reach 64, since this if it improved the yield of the equipment. This same one is applied to the processors, of which more, a processor of 300 Mhz or is sufficient in these days in a machine average. With respect to the multimedia, it is necessary to consider the use that is going away to give to him, since for an office it is not really much what it is needed, whereas for a home where the children use it for Games of third dimension is necessary to consider a good minimum D-ROM of 8X with something of extra memory for the video card.- Finally an advice who will help you to mainly extend the useful time of your machine and the Modem, is to acquire a UPS a regulator of voltage tips, which avoided that the machine or the modems is based and will avoid that it must replace parts of the equipment. It is necessary to clarify that a UPS is not equal to a regulator of tips, although exist some UPS with suppresor of tips.

A suppressor is a device that only limits the line of electrical provision by any unexpected phenomenon. A UPS A UPS is a complete system of endorsement of electrical energy able to maintain operating the equipment connected to by a period of time while there is not electrical provision, with the purpose of not losing the operation of the equipment. Usually the UPS have falsified systems of protection as they are suppresors of tips, filters, voltage regulators, etc. It remembers that these advice helped to extend the life you of your equipment, but sooner or later will be obsolete, so we do not have more to be prepared so that in two or three years we must acquire a new machine that adapts to this changing world. Clear that if we took care of it we can be saving for our next equipment.
