Slow computers affect the performance of any employee. Improving the performance of individual computers improves the efficiency of employees.

While many small business managers are afraid they'll need to make big changes to the software or hardware and spend a lot of money on technical help to get the performance upgrade they need, this is not the case.

Upgrading the memory on small business systems is a quick, easy and affordable way to make computer systems more productive. In fact, thanks to the recession--which has pushed prices down for many kinds of products--memory prices are at historic lows.

"Adding memory to office computers is the most cost-effective way to increase computer performance," says says Shaun Hanner, CTO of Silicon Mountain. "For as little as $20, you could increase the performance of your system by as much as 30 percent".
 
This is from an e-mail from "Managing Small Biz" but it is dead on accurate...

I see it everyday when I meet people at their offices. I actually see people using pc with only 1 monitor! That's because their current pc can't support 2 or more monitors.

2 monitors equals 2x productivity or even more. Just like 2 workers can do more than 2x the work of one man because of synergies. You get those same synergies with 2 monitors.

I totally agree on the first post and the comments about additional monitors. I really bet there is a measurable increase in performance two or even three monitors.

So if you are short staffed due to the recession, help improve productivity by upgrading your computer equipment.
