Have you had your PC a few years? Does it not seem
to have the horsepower it used to?
The #1 upgrade for all PCs, is to add more memory.
Check your PC's model number and see what kind of
memory your PC takes, then you can begin pricing.
Today's minimum is about 512MB
However, 1 GB is recommended.

 PCs nowadays come with at least 100 GB hard drives,
but what about the ones a few years ago?
Normally, you'd pay the extra buck and still only
receive an 80 GB hard drive.
Now, you can acquire a 250 GB hard drive relatively
cheap, normally for under $99.

can't quite afford TiVo? Well, with a TV Tuner Card, you

 The most expensive, yet the most powerful upgrade you will ever
experience. Onboard video is choppy, and can't quite push
all the new games. Upgrading your video card is like
throwing in a processor into your machine specifically for
video. You will notice increased frame rates, less lag, and
a much sharper image on your desktop.
