The speed at which technology moves forward would lead many to assume that you must replace your IT systems on an annual basis. Often a more effective strategy is just to upgrade those parts that will provide the most cost-effective boost to overall performance.

All of the following parts can be upgraded on desktop PCs and Servers

• Processor
• Disk Drives
• Removable Drives (CD/DVD)
• Motherboard
• Display
• Video Card

Software may also need upgrading. Sometimes this is necessary to keep up with specific changes to the law such as upgrading payroll software when the NI contribution changes. Other software may need upgrading when you need facilities only avaiable in the new version. Unfortunately software may also need updating when you buy a new PC as older cersions may not run on the newest systems.
