Need a Memory Upgrade
, Posted in: Uncategorized, Author: Pw (March 6, 2009)
My computer started to run poorly several years after I had originally purchased it. I was worried that one day it would just stop working entirely. I worked from home and I relied upon my computer every day. I ran a small business on-line reselling items that I picked up at rummage sales and re-sale shops for a profit. I used my computer to check bids on-line, to communicate with buyers, and to advertise. I also used several of its programs for keeping track of my invoices, my expenditures, and to keep track of photos that I took of the items I was selling. I had owned the Dell computer for several years and had just noticed recently that its overall performance was declining.
I had someone tell me that my computer may be running poorly because it could be running low on memory. I had suspected that this was possible, but did not think that it was likely. I was also unaware of how I would be able to diagnose my computer’s problem without professional assistance. I called out a local computer repairman to come and take a look at it. After a series of tests the repairman informed me that my computer was very low on memory. I guess all of the photo files containing pictures of my merchandise had taken up a large amount of memory. Somehow I had taken the continued performance of my computer for granted, expecting it to work forever. I really didn’t realize that photos used up so much memory either.
I could not afford a new computer so I decided to look into Dell memory upgrades. I was concerned that these upgrades would be expensive and that I would be spending the same amount of money on the technician and memory upgrade that I could be spending on an entire brand new computer. Luckily, the Dell memory upgrades were much more affordable than I had though they would be.
The computer technician came back to my house and installed my Dell memory upgrades in less than twenty minutes. The process was actually quite simple and a lot cheaper than I thought it would be. I ended up saving myself hundreds of dollars by not running out and just buying an entire new computer. My computer was up and running like new and now I could add a thousand more pictures of items for sale.
