You should be able to upgrade or add on most parts to just about any desktop computer available today. The only thing I've found difficult are the case designs of some computers I've worked on, and that only matters if you're replacing something big like the motherboard. Manufacturers save money by using standard parts, so you won't find too many "HP only" or "Gateway only" parts. They may *advertise* it that way, but that's just to get you to spend more money on them. I've not heard of HP being difficult in the past - perhaps you're thinking of PB (Packard Bell), which used to do crazy stuff like solder memory and CPUs in place, making it near impossible to replace them. Luckily, they don't make computers any more.



Some budget PC's from HP, like the a400n, come standard with mobo's that do not have an agp slot. Just be aware of what you are really getting with a cheap PC.



Find a local non-branded computer shop. Buy your new PC there. You'll be supporting a smaller store, your community, plus you'll probably get better service after-sale, and should get a better deal for your money.



dificulty of working on HP desktop depends on make. some have a bunch of stuff you got to remove just to get to the ram, sata ports and other ports. otherwise its no diffrent then working on another computer. only thing you have to remember is that HP flips their motherboard over to the rightside of case instead of left that is if you are looking at it from behind. if you change cases to a tipical atx case. Otherwise its simple as any other computer

Discuss some of the dangers of waiting or failing to upgrade hardware and software in any organization List and explain 3 examples?

When an organization relies on hardware to run the business and the hardware upgrades do not keep up with what the business needs are then hardware will wear out and stop working. When the hardware stops working when the business is very busy then the business closes until the hardware is repaired and working properly. The same applies to software, either the needs of the business continue to be met by the software used in the business are the business become harder and harder to keep running as normal. When the software and hardware used in a business can not support the business then the business risks going out of business
