Degunk a new PC
Sometimes, you just can’t degunk an old PC, because no matter how hard you try, 1GB of RAM or 80GB of hard drive space just isn’t enough, even with ReadyBoost and an external drive. It could be that the processor isn’t fast enough to stream media or perform the task of rendering photos in Photoshop. Perhaps it’s just noisy; the constant grinding of the hard drive or the whirring of an overworked fan can drive you nuts. These sounds also represent the eventual demise of some part of the PC, a sort of heads-up that you’re going to need a new computer soon.
NOTE
There will be a time when your computer will pass on to the big computer graveyard in the sky.
