New developments have changed my view on this. If the computer you wish to improve is a 32-bit machine, then purchasing RAM for it is a short-term solution because the current round of upgrades for most distros will be the last of the 32-bit operating systems. The year 2021 marks the end, and it will be here before we know it. Also, RAM for these 32-bit computers probably will not be transferable to another computer. In recent years, I found the cost of RAM to be too high when I consider the low cost of a new computer. If purchasing new RAM chips forces me to discard the RAM chips that I paid for when I purchased the computer, I am not happy. Does anyone want to spend more than one third of the cost of a new computer on any upgrades, especially if you are not a gamer? I call it the one-third by-law of the law of diminishing returns.** | New developments have changed my view on this.

**The one-third by-law comes into play on older 64-bit computers as well. My computer at work is a five year old Dell Optiplex, a business class computer with lots of life left in it yet, but it only has two gigabytes of RAM. And even Ubuntu Mate was running slow on it – not painfully slow, but slow. | **The one-third by-law comes into play on older 64-bit computers as well.

A recent visit to the showroom of a computer refurbish shop was an eye opener, as this shop was taking older computers and replacing the old mechanical hard disk with an SSD (Solid State Drive) – great idea, if you can buy them at volume pricing. However, in the last few weeks, I have noticed the price of SSDs has fallen, and there have been some good sales on. I found a 120GB drive for forty dollars Canadian. At that price, how could I go wrong? I have never filled a 60GB drive with data. Remember that the main objective is to get the operating system on a faster disk – while spending the least amount of money. If all or your data will not fit, it can continue to reside on the original disk that can operate as a slave. Unlike RAM, a new SSD can be used in another computer later when the old computer bites the dust.** | A recent visit to the showroom of a computer refurbish shop was an eye opener, as this shop was taking older computers and replacing the old mechanical hard disk with an SSD (Solid State Drive) – great idea, if you can buy them at volume pricing.

**In the installation process, I disconnected the cables to my original hard disk and connected them to the new disk; my insurance policy to prevent me from doing something silly like overwriting my original disk with the new installation. I do not know about you, but if I had five cents for every time I zipped when I should have zapped, I would be a millionaire. Later, I used my USB hard disk enclosure to transfer my data from the old disk to the computer. | **In the installation process, I disconnected the cables to my original hard disk and connected them to the new disk; my insurance policy to prevent me from doing something silly like overwriting my original disk with the new installation.

I am happy to tell you that my five-year-old computer, with 2GB RAM, works much faster with the new SSD. Applications open quickly with no waiting. I noticed a big improvement in FireFox and LibreOffice. It was worth the effort in both time and money to do the upgrade.** | I am happy to tell you that my five-year-old computer, with 2GB RAM, works much faster with the new SSD.
