[] Hardware boosting includes upgrading and adding new components to the computer to increase its speed and performance.

Your computer will return speed considering the weakest hardware of the configuration. Suppose, you have 1.80GHz Processor but 64 or 128 MB RAM so computer will return speed corresponding RAM since it is weaker here. Now 512 MB RAM no doubt will return more speed than previous. To use SATA hard drive which offers better speed of memory may need to upgrade motherboard. So keep upgrading your hardware requirements to figure out best speed from the computer.
