A lot of my close friends are hardcore gamers and put preference to PC games over their girlfriends! Thus the problem arises whenever they feel an urge to upgrade their PC for having a better gaming experience. So, for all those friends of mine and for all you game freaks I give you here 3 tips in enhancing your PC performance for a better gaming experience.

Requirement of a powerful CPU

The CPU is primarily responsible is the execution of all of the complex mathematical problems inside the field of your codes. The speeder your processor the smother and speedy will be your gaming experience. Perhaps the best CPU available on the market for the PC gamers is undoubtedly the I7 processor newly launched. Before this came the Quad Core processors of Intel. These CPUs are having 4 cores that make it four times faster than a one core CPU. AMD also provides Quad Core CPUs and a few of those are also good for gaming purpose.

Upgrading the GPU

For graphics, The GPU is responsible. The speedy your GPU the better is the graphics you receive on your display screen. If you are lagging quality gaming experience, then it is perhaps an issue to deal with your graphics card. The NVidia manufactures are having some of the amazing graphic cards to meet your requirements.

Sing RAM of DDR2 orDDR3

Of late, DDR2 is a lot common in majority of the computers but the very new DDR3 is the one that you actually should be aiming at. You experience better gaming with a quality RAM.

If you are a true game fanatic and have some spare money in your wallet then you can also add an SSD(Solid State Drive).

Maybe you are in possession of an old PC, or really wish to upgrade the configuration of your current PC with a view to provide it with more RAM. Not showing any disrespect, but you might not have ever heard or learnt what actually RAM stands for. To your help it actually stands for “Random Access Memory”.

Majority of the personal computers, if they are finished or assembled prior to being procured, then it already contains a specific quantity of RAM. Of late, the capacity of RAM extends from 2-4GB for the new machines, the capacity of the RAM has been on the rise, and even a few years back it was ranging only in the several MB on an average. Whereas now they hobble around Gigabyte range i.e. thousand times more space than old time.

So, if the newly bought PC arrives with 2GB of cache memory, then do you actually require upgrading to a larger quantity? If you’re a novice or a bit new to using computer and are mainly involved with surfing the Web and checking your emails, writing necessary documents, having an extended viewing on your family and friends’ images and AV’s, and things like these, then the 2GB without a doubt is more than enough for you. On the contrary, if you are quite up-to-date with PC and often perform a number of tasks at the same time or habituated in running programs that need more memory, such as the video editing, then you might find that you are falling short of RAM and extra desktop memory might come in really handy.

Also take into consideration of the fact that 32-bit operating systems can make use of up to 4GB of cache memory. This includes Operating Systems such as the Windows, the Macintosh, the Linux based Ubuntu etc. However, a lot of the operating systems are currently offering the 64-bit options, therefore if you wish to upgrade past the benchmark of 4GB, and then simply look for the version that assigns it 64-bit, instead.
