A user has just upgraded a gaming system with 8GB of DDR3 800 MHz RAM and still finds that the system lags during gameplay. The system has a high end graphics card, liquid cooling, and a 7,200 rpm EIDE drive. What can the user do to improve system performance?
- Change the voltage setting for the RAM.
- Replace the EIDE drive with an SSD.
- Replace the liquid cooling system with a high speed ball bearing fan cooling system.
- Add two more case fans.
| Answers Explanation & Hints:
Because the system has already has a high end graphics card and a liquid cooling system, it is already optimized for the gaming environment and the introduction of the new additional RAM would add to its performance. The only hardware component that could result in the lag in performance in this scenario is the hard drive, which would perform much faster when replaced with an SSD. |
