Update your laptop to modern standards We have touched briefly on standard upgrades for the ThinkPad, such as the RAM and SSD, which are very easy to install due to their ease of access and lack of requirements for special tools. Things get more interesting when we start looking at the mor...
This is my fear: I can hear it working all the time, even when the laptop is mostly stable. Been thinking of upgrading to an SSD, which I believe will breathe new life into the machine, but with my battery at 58% health (as well as the MBP telling me it needs a service) and on...

If you still have an HDD in your PC, upgrading to an SSD is the single most impactful thing you can do. Even if you have a GPU from eight years ago, or a CPU that’s a few generations old, swapping those out won’t affect the way your entire PC runs as much as switching from...
Upgrading to a new Mobo/CPU/Ram combo might help as it would allow me to switch to DDR4, even if the additional cores would only kick in during rendering. Perhaps the additional PCIe lanes would help with moving data to/from the graphics cards. Loading would certainly benefit from a SSD...

Skip this step, and you may well end up with memory that can't reach its full potential in your system. Next, we'll cover upgrading and cost. What clock speeds make sense, and which don't? Before we discuss the upgrade question, let's have a look at what you can ...
Upgrading is easy - you don't even have to get matching specs since the system just picks the lowest common denominator. GPUs have practically become whole computers in themselves. No need for separate 2D and 3D units either. These days, it's hard to get a PSU without the p...
