| 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.
