Computer speed is an important factor to look out for if you want to use your PC for serious graphics applications or are just going to play modern games.
The speed of a personal computer depends on many different factors. First, it is necessary to say directly about the components that are installed on the PC. For performance, you need to buy a good processor, video card and RAM. These 3 types of components, together, allow the computer to work quickly, but their choice must be approached thoroughly.
CPU
For example, when choosing a particular processor model, you need to pay attention to the following parameters: device clock speed, number of cores, and cache memory size (it is advisable to choose devices with a volume of at least 12 MB). When choosing a processor, it is necessary to look for its clock frequency to be at least 2, 8 GHz, but the more it is, the better, of course. As for the number of cores, everything is a little different here as it might seem at first glance. Their large number does not always indicate that the computer will work quickly. In general, the processor must be selected so that it matches well with the video card and RAM. This is when good results can be obtained. Therefore, before buying, it is advisable to look at the processor compatibility tables and read on special forums about a particular brand.
Video card
As for the video card, when choosing this particular component, you need to carefully approach the issue of compatibility with other components. Otherwise, it may not only fail to work, but even burn out. The main parameters that you need to pay attention to are video memory and the model itself. The amount of memory affects the speed of the PC and all programs working with a graphic image. As for the model, there are no particular criteria here. The choice of this or that model is due to the games that will run on the PC, since they often may not work with one model, which even has the same amount of memory that is required.
RAM
The amount of RAM also affects the speed of the PC. The only thing that can be said here is that the more it is, the better, but before buying, you need to either consult a consultant or find out yourself whether a certain volume is suitable for your motherboard or not.
In addition, do not forget that a clogged hard disk, unused programs, a dirty registry also affect the performance, namely, the computer boot. Therefore, it is advisable to regularly clean the computer of unused programs and either use automated software to clean up the registry, or do it yourself.
