Upgrade Computer Hardware — Unit test

Question 46 • TX-Business Information Management (BIM) I

Which of the following best describes a situation where software should be upgraded instead of replaced?

Answer
A
A three-year-old laptop was dropped, the screen was cracked, and it doesn’t turn on anymore.
B
A one-year-old budget computer could be upgraded to an entertainment computer for 75% of the price of a new one.
C
A six-year-old computer needs a new CPU to run the latest video production software.
D
A six-month-old computer would run new database software faster with more RAM installed.

Explanation

A six-month-old computer is relatively new, and adding RAM is a simple upgrade that can improve its performance with the new database software. Replacing the whole computer would be unnecessary. In choice B, the upgrade costs 75% of a new computer, so replacement may be a better value.
