Hardware and Software are the two main components of every personal computer. If you have lots of money and can afford to just buy a new PC all the time then you are pretty well set. However, if you don't have that kind of money to throw around then you may need some Hardware upgrades after a few years. Hardware upgrades are the cheapest way you can go to extend the life of your PC.

The average usable lifespan of a PC is about 3-5 years without hardware upgrades. By upgrading your PC hardware you will nearly double that lifespan. Upgrading your hardware also helps keep your system compatible with the newest software. All software comes with minimum specifications required to install, such as hard drive space, video card quality and available memory (RAM).

When it comes to software we all know how frequent new versions of our favorite applications hit store shelves. We'll help you make the right choices for upgrading or installing software and we'll configure it to not interfere with your system. Software comes from many different companies and during the installation there are a lot of configuration options that are sometimes deceiving or hidden. Companies like Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, Google, Yahoo! and AOL all wage a secret war on your PC.

Impatico Technology is here for all of your Hardware and Software needs. We have no affiliation to big name companies and we won't push unnecessary hardware or software onto your system. Best of all, we will configure all your software to do exactly what it is supposed to do and we'll eliminate all the excess "fat" that comes with it.

An example of how a big name company can harm your system:

If you want to download and install iTunes, what you will end up with is a lot more than you asked for. By default the installer will also load and install Apple Quicktime (Media Player), Apple Safari (Internet Browser) and Apple's Auto-Update software. During the automated Quicktime installation, it will be set as your default media player and take over all file associations. During the Safari installation, it will attempt to become your default internet browser and load all of your settings from your previous browser. Apple's Auto-Update will become an "always on" service that will randomly steal resources from your PC to update Apple products and information (This auto-update is known to cause PC lock-ups on a regular basis). After all that is installed, it will continue with the iTunes installation, at which time iTunes will then take over any remaining file associations not taken by Quicktime. You'll also get a unfancy new internet explorer toolbar (of course it doesn't install it into the new Safari) and a whole load of new icons in your system tray, quick launch bar, start menu icons and desktop icons... yikes, all you wanted to do was install iTunes.
