Before It’s Too Late
Part of me is always saddened to tell someone that part of their computer is dead, but there comes a point where it should be expected. When a PC is so old, its only time before a component fails and you are going to be looking for a replacement part or PC. What most people don’t realize at first is that upgrading an old PC to semi modern standards is costly. A moderate amount of old ram is easily two to three times the cost of a modern piece of ram, and then the time spent on replacing the parts and reinstalling whatever is necessary to make the machine run. It is normally suggested that you replace your computer every 3-5 years, and of course you can stretch the PC to last longer, but at some point you need to sit down and think about what would happen if your PC breaks and how likely it really is.
