If you are not sure your systems need to be upgraded, here are eight signs:

• It crawls - when your computer system starts running slow it may be time to upgrade or replace

• It sucks up your time - if you're spending more time on dealing with computer problems, it's time to upgrade

• It's noisy - when your computer equipment starts making too much noise it's a good indicator that hardware failure is just around the corner

• It's out of warranty - if your hardware is more than three years old - then there's a good chance you need some kind of upgrade

• Something doesn't feel right - is it taking longer and longer to do the same function? If you have a sinking feeling about your system, chances are it could be ready for an upgrade

• There's no more room - if you have run out of storage space or memory you will need to plan an upgrade very soon

• Your computer system's performance is otherwise impaired - does your system seize up or have a hiccup often? We can help you monitor the performance of your system to help identify if an upgrade is required

• The Big Bang happens - when a catastrophic failure occurs there is no other option but to upgrade or replace
