GIVE YOUR PC A BOOST
HARDWARE INSTALL

Highlights

Technology seems to move on a lightning pace leaving our shiny new computers looking old and obsolete after a few months. New software and games demand more and more from our hardware and it can seem like a never ending battle keeping up.

Your secret weapon in the software battle is the computer upgrade. Instead of buying an expensive new computer you can swap the nuts and bolts inside for new go faster parts.

The KNOWHOW™ Team are on hand to give you simple, non techie advice on the best way to upgrade your computer.  There’s no need to get your hands dirty because we can install your new upgrades for you.

Knowing what to upgrade can be confusing but don’t worry. Visit the KNOWHOW™ Service Bar in your local PC World.ie or Currys.ie and we can help you make the right choice. As a general rule desktop computers have more upgrade options than laptops.

Popular upgrades include:

• RAM (memory) to make Windows run faster.
• Hard Drive for storing more documents, photos, videos and music.
• Graphics Card for the latest games and HD movies.
• Blu-Ray drive to watch Blu-Ray HD movies.
• Wireless Card to connect to your home network without messy cables.
• CPU to speed up your computer and run the latest software.
• Sound Card for people who like the very best sound for music making.

Bring your computer into the store, or tell us what model you own and we can tell you what upgrades will work with your computer.
