Computers have had an amazing run in the market. Over the decades they have become incredibly powerful; the next thing comes in and the last computer or component becomes “last year’s model” in a few months when companies continue to one up their last models. This doesn’t make the computer obsolete in the least, it just makes the user want to upgrade so they have the latest and greatest technology at their disposal.
The problem with just chasing the best technology or the latest ‘more powerful’ model is often a new version is not always compatible with your system, even if it can functionally be installed and used. Essentially, it won’t always be an upgrade in a way that may be useful for you. Why? That’s where it gets interesting and where companies like BLH Computers come in and save the day with computer recycling in Alsip, IL.
Some hardware is built way ahead of its time and although new hardware does offer some great benefits, if you can access them, often your computer may not even be able to utilize this new raw power anyway. Due to system limitations, you could be putting a piece of hardware in your computer that is better than what you had (in theory), but that may not perform any better than what was in there. In fact, it could potentially be inferior in performance due to its design requiring more power, but being limited by your system. All the potential power inherent in the upgrade may not be accessible without other enhancements to your system. Sometimes, you won’t ever get to that power unless the card is installed into a system with more powerful components that can synergize with it and allow it to push to it’s limits.
Conclusion
Being knowledgeable about your computer and what you put into it is about saving money, utilizing your system’s highest potential, and being aware of its limitations. You can’t put a Ferrari engine in a VW bug and expect it to soar- the rest of the car can’t stabilize the effects of that engine and the car would likely flip over. Your computer is similar in this respect. More is not always better, in fact too much power in a component robs you of power and efficiency. Computer recycling in Alsip, IL will save you money and is environmentally conscious!
