£5.99 £2.99 : save £3.00
No matter how speedy and powerful your PC was when you first bought it, eventually it will start to struggle with the latest software and hardware — as hardware development moves on at a brisk pace, home computers are becoming out of date within four or five years.
If the thought of spending several hundreds or even thousands of pounds on a new machine fills you with fear, then you might want to consider upgrading your PC rather than replacing it.
Desktop computers are put together from a handful of components, and by replacing one or two of these components rather than the PC as a whole, you can save yourself some money while still improving the performance of your aging computer.
In this issue of PC Explorer we've provided in-depth guides to all of the hardware components inside and outside your computer case, providing hints and tips for working on your PC and getting the most out of your money. For the more ambitious, there's a feature on building your own computer from scratch.
We've also provided an extensive set of articles on cleaning up your computer, deleting unnecessary files and removing unwanted code to give your PC a new lease of life. You can even find out how to keep your system in a healthy state and safe from various dangers on the Web.
