Where is the budget for only 1,000 upgrade computers?

Recently, many small partners have asked Xiao Bian in the background. They want to upgrade their computers but their budget is limited. In particular, their computers have been used for four or five years. Is there any room for upgrading? Moreover, after all, it is an old computer, and the budget for upgrading does not want to spend too much. In the case of 1,000 yuan, it is more cost-effective to upgrade first. Obviously this is not difficult to down Xiaobian, to promote today's push to share with you the idea of ​​the old computer upgrade it!

Five years old machine still play?

Five years ago the old computer, high-end use should be the majority of the second-generation and third-generation Core Duo, there are AMD's FX series, their efficiency is not as good as the current processor, but the performance of the current daily application is still no problem . It is recommended that you consider upgrading or installing new SSDs. Even if the mainstream SSDs were selected at that time, those products with a capacity of about 64 GB and a read/write speed of only about 300 to 400 MB/s could not hold the current operating system and daily software. Xiao Bian recommends purchasing a new model SSD with 240/256GB capacity. The price is about 450 yuan, and the read/write speed can reach 500MB/s or even higher. It can not only install the current operating system and all daily software, but also upgrades it as a new machine. System disk, or mobile hard disk is very good. In addition, if you choose a more conservative 4GB of memory, then spend about 200 yuan to buy a 4GB DDR3 memory, you can also get a significant performance improvement. For laptops with Core i3 and above configured for the same period of time, it can be upgraded according to this program.

However, at the time, the partner who chose the entry-level Pentium, Celeron, or Athlon processor now feels that the computer's processing power is not enough, and it needs to directly update the platform. Xiao Bian suggested that you consider the AMD Ryzen 3 1200+A320 kit, the price is less than 1,000 yuan, install 4GB of DDR4 memory, the total price is only 1100 yuan. This set of platforms can definitely make the entry-level computer of the year have a new feeling of reborn. In addition, the Ryzen 3 2200G+A320 kit with a high price of 100 yuan, the processor built-in display unit also "bundled" the entry-level graphics experience, is also a good choice.

More than three years models need only small adjustment

The mainstream PCs after 2013 use at least the fourth-generation Core Core architecture. Their performance is not very backward now. If only the daily office, audio and video entertainment, Xiao Bian does not recommend upgrading, if you like to play games or there are some ambiguities. The configuration of the leg can still be adjusted slightly.

Like to play the game partner can be upgraded to GTX 1050Ti graphics card, the price of 1,100 yuan to 1200 yuan, there are elections, these graphics cards with the fourth-generation Core Duo play single masterpiece, eating chickens are no problem. If you are not interested in the game, or use a laptop partner, you can adjust it according to your own configuration. For example, replacing a small-capacity SSD with a large-capacity SSD, or adding 4GB of memory to 8GB, can also significantly speed up everyday applications. And it's not too expensive.

Do you have to pay attention to the upgrade?

Xiaobian's recommended upgrade program here is relatively small, most of the accessories can be retained, but it should be noted that when updating the platform or graphics card, it should pay attention to whether the power supply is sufficient, not only depends on the total power, Also look at the graphics card power supply capabilities and interface configuration (WeChat link).

In addition, second-hand accessories are worth considering when upgrading computers, but they are also prone to problems. Among the upgrades mentioned by Xiao Bian, you may consider choosing mainly used processors and memory, because the loss of the processor in use is very small, and it is difficult to fake the model. If there is something wrong with the machine, it is very easy. It can be seen; while the memory uses less loss, the difference between the common frequencies is not large, and it is not worthwhile to impersonate.

Xiao Bian most not recommend the use of second-hand goods is SSD, because the use of this stuff loss is very obvious, with one year less life expectancy, use much less life, but confirm the life and health is more troublesome . The video card is even more troublesome. It has a long life and little loss. It was originally a good deal in the second-hand market. However, because the secondary market is now filled with crushing “mining cards”, the life expectancy has been significantly shortened. You can consider using a second-hand card from your friends, but do not purchase it from unfamiliar channels.
