The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by Qube-It in Microsoft Operating Systems, Microsoft Hardware, Microsoft Applications
The small business that I work for has some older machines as their desktop computers (Dell GX 260) and everyone is noticing that their machines are starting to lock up more frequently and (for lack of a better way of saying it) just acting a little quircky. Everyone has plenty of space on their hard drives and a couple of them are even fairly new hard drives. I've upgraded everyone's RAM to 2GB and I keep up with the maintenence updates for all software and the OS (which is Windows XP Pro).
I am considering the possiblity that these machines are just getting old and may need to be replaced, but if I go to the owner of the company with just that, he will probably dismiss it as me just wanting to spend money on the latest and greatest new fangled technology. This question might be a little deep but here it goes:
What occurs as a computer ages to cause it to start "acting quirky" and ultimately fail? And what signs should I be looking for to know that it is simply age?
I don't like the way those questions are put, but I am at a loss for words here. Anyone care to take a stab?
