The main reason for purchasing new hardware is to increase a PC's performance.
This is without a shadow of a doubt, the most effective way of improving a PC's performance.
However the increase in PC's performance through the aid of additional hardware is considerable, it does come at a price.
However purchasing new PC hardware could be completely avoided if people was more knowledgeable about tweaking their PCs for superior speeds.
On a hole, PCs tend to run about 10% of their full operational speeds.
So it would make sense (and save a lot of money in the process) to learn how to optimize their PCs first, then, once their PCs are running at their full operational speeds, then consider to upgrade if the need for more performance is still there.
Through tweaking a PC alone, most performance issues could eradicated completely.
Problems such as slow Windows boot-up times, general operating system speeds, and even video game frame rates can be improved considerably if people had all the information laid out in front of them.
However, like most things in life, it takes considerable time to learn how make these simple yet effective changes to their PCs.
This is shame as most people do not have the time to do the research thorough enough to make the changes worthwhile.
So in turn, most people opt for purchasing new PC hardware to achieve the desired performance increase.
One technique that can dramatically increase a PC's performance without the aid of purchasing new hardware is through the art of overclocking.
Overclocking is a technique where the overclocker takes a PC's component and increase the clock cycle for faster operational speeds.
If done correctly, it can make a component outperform a component worth hundreds more.
This method is favoured particular by gamers and use overclocking as a way to increase the frame-rates and visuals of their video games.
As tempting as this method of extracting free additional performance from a PC is, if done incorrectly it can potentially damage the overclocked component in question.
This is because the heat increases when increasing the clock cycle of the that particular PC component, and if the component becomes too hot, it may burn out as a result.
The scare stories aside, Overclocking can be a great way of adding additional performance to a PC providing it is done correctly.
It can also save on additional hardware upgrades that would otherwise cost hundreds in expensive PC hardware.
