Purchase small stopgap upgrades
If you have systems to which you can add some memory or drive space, this is a good opportunity for minor upgrades. They can be especially helpful if you don’t foresee capital monies for a new project, yet the business demands expanded functionality.
But be cautious here: If you accommodate unfunded requests, you may be setting a poor precedent for the business. This is a better strategy for systems used entirely by your department.Moving from a purely technical net admin role to a managerial position can be a long and winding road full of pitfalls. Steven Crane has become quite familiar with that road during his long career in the IT industry.ne of the easiest ways to boost performance for any PC is to add memory to the system. But before you go to get that memory upgrade, be sure to gather information about your computer to ensure you get the right memory for your system. You need to know what type of memory the computer uses, the memory module sizes and what already exists in the system. Adding Random Access Memory (RAM) is an easy and cost effective way to boost your computer’s performance. Although the computer may function with 512MB of RAM or even less, generally 1024MB is a reasonable minimum. Computer consultants build entire careers around advising businesses when to upgrade their hardware.
