Hi,
I bought a Z600 several years ago to future proof myself for a while. I'd now like to upgrade it as much as possible, but have no idea where to start.
I use my PC for website development, graphic design and audio editing.
The PC is getting a bit sluggish, although I do keep the C drive as clean of junk as possible - But do run some pretty intensive programs in my work.
What would the best and easiest upgrades be for someone who doesn't know much about the insides of a computer. I don't really want to be soldeing anything, but do feel comfortable opening it up and doing basic things such as swapping memory etc. I just have no idea what parts this computer needs.
I guess I need memory and perhaps a solid state HD.
What parts would be suitable?
My partner works for HP and can help me source the parts but would require part numbers. Any help appreciated.
