Inexpensive ways to bring your service machine up to speed

*My main craptop is connected to a flat screen which leaves me primarily with my service machine partitioned with Ubuntu.

 Here's a cheap way to make it a little faster.

 First search for processor updates, I'm running 2 older AMD's.

 I looked for updates pertaining to my network adapter and found none so...

 I skipped it with a Nano USB Adapter.

*I reiterate, "I am not a software pro and that's why I hire them". When my software tech comes, he may laugh in my face but this little rig has increased my speed and works well for me.

 Don't be afraid to try new things, that's what system restore was made for.
