The Take on Tech

A Youngster's Look at Local Tech

Upcoming Posts: Computer Improvements on the Cheap

March 24th, 2010 at Wed, 24th, 2010 at 5:25 pm by Changlin Li

Over the course of the next couple of weeks, I hope to be able to get some posts up about how to improve your computer for little or no money. Buying a new graphics card that nearly costs half a grand is all good and well if one can afford it, but most of us can’t, at least not without donating body parts.

So the next couple of posts will be written in the name of frugality. And there are a surprising number of things that can be done quite cheaply. Improving the airflow of one’s case (something I hope to write in the next post) and overclocking or underclocking one’s computer are some topics I hope to touch on.

And hopefully, there will not be a month-or-so-long drought that seems that to have wreaked havoc on this blog since it’s been started.

So just a little update on what’s coming up, for the one or two people who read this little corner of the internet.
