Don't be so quick to throw that old PC in the trash.

Recycle or UpgradeIs your computer running slowly? Are your web-pages taking forever to load? Does you system slow down to a crawl whenever you run more than one program at a time? Are you getting ready to throw the computer in the garbage in one last fit of frustration?....Stop don't do it..... You might want to hold onto that  system a little bit longer. Adding memory to your old Windows XP desktop can add years of useful life to the  system. Older computers with sufficient memory can easily be used to check email, browse the web and print out the occasional report. Depending on how old your PC is you could easily extent its useful life another year or 2 by spending less than $100 on a memory upgrade.
