However, when your laptop creates such problem of sound hardware, you must pull out your wallet because you will not be able to fix it yourself, and the whole motherboard inside the unit will must be replaced.

Memory: - As much memory your PC has installed, you would be able to run as much application at once. Upgrading memory in a desktop after you buy the PC is a snap, but actually its good to buy the amount of memory you like preinstalled with the machine.

Motherboards: - A new motherboard would deliver you smooth new technologies that you are missing right now.

There are two types of cards, the one is removable from the board and the other is permanently soldered on the board. However we would recommend a discrete graphics board for gaming and an integrated graphics for other use.

Sound Card: - for office use you should buy an integrated sound card for your PC, but if you want to use the PC in your home then a dedicated sound card would be the better choice.

Hard Drive: - Its totally depends on you, if you plan on large amount of data, such digital images or multimedia files on your pc, Large capacity hard drive, opportunity to save more data. For normal use simply buy 40 or 80 GB that most of business users use these days.
