(Say which is appropriate and then evaluate how beneficial each configuration is and
the effects it will have on a computer system. Mention any drawbacks too)
Installing 2nd Hard Drive Installing a second hard drive is very beneficial, in my opinion. Hard drives store
all types of data, programs, images, and much more and are needed especially
for large businesses. Having a second hard drive for Constallation Systems will
have less to worry about in case their first hard drive fails because their backup
drive is fully functional, and they can still access their data and continue their
work. There are many effects this will have on a computer system, but the first
effect is increased storage space. If the business is working with large files, then
this will allow the computer system to process this and run the files smoothly
and quickly. One technique to assist your organization manage its software
packages is to use several discs in business PCs. Keeping business programs on a
different drive from the operating system might make software updates easier,
such as upgrading the Windows installation on the system drive while keeping
business database data intact. You may even utilize various OS applications on
the same system if you have several discs.
Installing a better Graphics Installing a better graphics card is at the average benefit as specific companies
Card may not benefit all that much from it. There are many benefits to installing a
better graphics card; these include boosting a computer's visual performance. It
can assist with image modification, video editing, and playing high-quality
videos. However, it can benefit users and companies such as Constallation
Systems. Businesses such as constellation systems suffering from system
failures can benefit from the installation. Firstly, it can lessen the strain on the
processor and speed up rendering time. Secondly the systems RAM can support
the processor to work more efficiently. The computer can perform multiple
tasks at once by processing data in temporary memory. A video card will have
its own memory, which will improve the overall performance. A dedicated
graphics card has the disadvantage of consuming more power than any other
piece of hardware on your computer.
Installing more RAM Installing more RAM, in my opinion, is very beneficial. The first benefit is it helps
to prevent the computer from running slowly. Running large files on a
computer with little RAM can make it very slow and often freeze. Upgrading the
RAM can ease this issue. Secondly, extra RAM allows for more program
availability; this means Once the memory of a computer is updated, it can
execute applications that it was before unable to execute. Thirdly, it results in a
faster browsing experience. Regardless of Internet connection speed, web
browsers load quicker following a RAM boost. A RAM boost can also speed up
the opening of flash material, in addition to web pages. The next one is more
aimed at business. Network enhancement is another benefit that comes with
installing more RAM. Following a RAM update, computers linked to a network
may see an increase in network capabilities. This also applies to networks that
share a printer. People who print a lot of goods, particularly graphics-heavy
goods, may benefit from a RAM boost. A disadvantage is you can acquire the
wrong RAM type and damage or slow things down or computer (if you already
had enough and the timings of the new RAM cause the old to slow down or lose
multi-channel benefits).
Setting the mouse (i.e., left- Setting the mouse, in my opinion, has a low benefit as it does not impact many
