Alot of people think that if their computer is a few years old, they need to purchase a brand new one. This is fine if you have alot of money. But if you're like me, money isn't bulging out of your pockets.

I went to the post office the other day with a package of cpu's going to Italy. When you mail something to another Country you should place a customs label on it. On the customs label, you have to write down what is in the package. I wrote "used computer processor". The postal clerk told me that he just bought his wife a new computer because the one she had was getting old. I replied by saying that she could have upgraded. He said, no, it was getting old and got a good deal on a new one... He said he paid about $700.00 after all the rebates. Well, when I heard this, I just said 'thats nice'.  You probably know as well as I do that there are some people you can explain things to and some people that have all the answers. He was one that thinks he has all the answers! I wanted to ask him if he knew how many times he could have upgraded this so-called 'old' computer for what he paid for the new one. But I didn't...I just said, thats nice.

To those that don't know, all computers are basically the same. They have a motherboard, processor (cpu), hard drive, memory,  CD Rom, and such. All that needs to be done with an older computer is to 'upgrade'.  Just replace the cpu with a faster one, a hard drive with a larger storing capacity, and maybe more memory. You can upgrade a computer for a fraction of the cost of a new one. I've been helping people upgrade for over 7 years. I usually have a wide variety of cpu's available on auction. All of my cpu's are 100% gauranteed with a 100% refund, including shipping, if there is a problem with what I sell you. I don't know of anyone that offers what I do.

The bottom line is, UPGRADE! Buy a faster cpu and buy from a trusted seller. Good Luck!
