business computer upgrades

You may be finding that your computers are no longer up to the task, or that you're losing precious working hours waiting for your hardware to catch up. Before you shell out for replacements, have you considered an upgrade? An upgrade can often provide a great increase in performance at minimal cost. Often a computer has one or two elements holding back the performance of others; upgrading these components allows the rest of the computer to perform to capacity. For example, if you don't have enough RAM to handle the volume of work you have the computer will be slowed down to a crawl, but RAM can be upgraded for as little as £30.

Upgrades are possible on virtually all computers, although a tower or desktop computer is far more accommodating than a laptop, primarily due to physical space. Here at Mamu Computing we will not suggest upgrades unless we truly think you will see a difference, and if the computer is past its best and an upgrade is either going to be ineffective or more costly than a new computer, we'll tell you straight. We also understand that the computer is vital during the working day and we can work around your circumstances, working evenings and weekends to avoid disruption.
