A New Computer for Diane
Well, not really “new”, but “newly upgraded”. In fact, I replaced everything except the case and the monitor. Cost $700. Here’s what she got:
1. New motherboard. Required for the new processor
2. New processor. 8-core AMD
3. New memory. 16 gigs RAM
4. New Solid-State drive (not actually a hard disk)
5. New power supply (quieter)
6. New video board
7. Windows 8.1
This thing is a WHOLE lot faster than the old system. Programs load almost instantly, and boot-up is about 20 seconds. Diane is pleased….
