Computer Upgrades

At Computer Service, we provide FREE quotes to upgrade your machine as your needs expand. We will examine the machine first and advise you as to whether it would be more cost effective to replace the machine as opposed to upgrade it. However at the end of the day the option is always up to you.

Our most popular upgrades are listed below.

Graphics Card Upgrade - From £45

It has been proven that you can increase your computer's performance in gaming not by upgrading the processor, but by replacing the graphics card. Modern day games are more dependent on your card's abilities and amount of memory more than the speed of the processor.

Motherboard And/Or Processor Upgrade - from £110+

It is an unavoidable fact of modern day computing that technology changes faster than we can keep up with it. The average life of current computer technology is 21 months and gets cheaper and faster all the time.

Modern day programs take up such a lot of system resources that older machines just cannot cope any longer. However you do not necessarily need to buy an entire new machine to get a performance boost. Replacing the motherboard, the processor and the memory may be all you need.

Exact prices vary in this area because of the wide range of hardware on the market. Contact Us and arrange to bring your machine to us where we can give you a quote.

Memory Upgrade - from £35

A computer without enough memory will always be a slow computer. When it runs out of "real" memory, Windows will start to use the hard drive as a memory overrun, a process called "Virtual Memory". This will be much slower than real memory to use and so computer performance will suffer.

Increasing the amount of memory in your machine will speed it up, allowing start-up to be much quicker, programs to load readily and overall system performance to increase. Increasing the amount of memory in your machine from 256Mb to 512Mb will make it feel like an entirely new system.

Customers running Windows Vista may benefit from a memory increase as well: Vista uses much more memory than Windows XP and Windows 7 and many early Vista machines struggle because they were sold without enough memory. Some Vista customers may also benefit from a processor upgrade.

Contact Us for a quote as there are multiple types of memory.

Windows Upgrade - from £135

Many of our Windows Vista customers are less than impressed with the performance of Windows Vista, particularly on laptops, and they have enquired about replacing Vista with the new Windows 7.

If your computer or laptop is running Vista now, it will be able to run Windows 7. Most machines and laptops sold since Vista was launched will be capable of Windows 7.

The above price includes our wiping your machine, installing Windows 7, applying all drivers and updates. If you would like us to keep any personal data prior to installing Windows 7, there is an extra £10 charge.
