Newest Computer Technology

How do you keep up with the newest computer technology? The cost of purchasing a new Computer Processing Unit (CPU) is quite high and it seems that with new applications there is a constantly growing need for more memory and more computer speed. It often seems that just as a new CPU is introduced it is already becoming obsolete. There is a solution, however, for increasing your computer's processing capabilities and it is not to purchase a new one every 6 months.

Rather, many people choose to overclock the CPUs that they already have-which is a much more cost-effective option in most cases. Clocking refers to the speed at which a computer processes things and is expressed in the number of clock cycles per minute. Overclocking is a means of increasing that number thereby giving added power and efficiency to all of your computer's operations.

This can make a huge difference in your computer's ability to effectively and quickly run games and video-heavy applications. Video editing, in particular, will benefit greatly from overclocking. It is generally agreed that if you are able to increase the speed of your computer by only 10% that you will not really notice any appreciable change in the computer performance. However, you should be able to increase the speed up to 900% with proper overclocking.
