How It Works

The Basics
How does it work? First, we collect some information about your hardware configuration directly from your system. This is done by downloading a small, safe application that will read specific information about your system and upload it to our site for evaluation. The data received will be analyzed by our powerful UPGRADEPRO configurator to identify your system and its compatible upgrades.

The Challenge
It is no secret that computers are now a permanent and everyday reality of life. It is also no secret that most computers are owned and operated by people who know almost nothing about them. Because of that, consumers routinely buy incorrect parts, spend hours trying to install software that should take seconds, and go without accessories when they aren’t sure they can make them work. Worst of all, perfectly good computers end up in our nation’s landfills only because their owners didn’t know how to upgrade them. And this insanity is not limited to mom-and-pop businesses or befuddled individuals grappling with their first computer. Every day, corporate America flushes millions down the same bottomless pit. This is especially true for companies that have many different brands of computers or computers configured at different levels.

The Solution
After many years in research and development, goldenram is launching a revolutionary new way for every computer user to inexpensively and accurately upgrade their system. This exciting new service is being introduced to the public through a network of Technology Advisors who are destined to become the “go-to” guys (or gals!) for their customers’ computer-related challenges.

Even more impressive, this cutting-edge system is so flexible that it can analyze anything from a single home computer to a thousand-computer network, yet so amazingly simple that even the most “technically-challenged” man or woman can become a successful goldenram Technology Advisor.

The System
The heart of this groundbreaking new technology is called UpgradeDetectTM and it defines the term “user-friendly.”

Here’s how the system works:
First, the goldenram Technology Advisor identifies a customer whose computer may need upgrading and offers to perform a free evaluation. UpgradeDetectTM is then run on the customer’s system via the internet. During that process, over 3000 pieces of information will be analyzed to determine exactly what the customer needs to bring his or her computer(s) up to spec. Even if the customer just wants to add an accessory such as a DVD burner or a new printer, UpgradeDetectTM will tell them exactly what they need to make it work right the first time.

UpgradeDetectTM will analyze most Windows, Linux and Mac based systems, plus it works on desktop computers, notebooks, servers, workstations, motherboards, cameras, printers, PDAs, routers, point-of-service systems, cash registers, electronic games, copiers, etc.

Once UpgradeDetectTM has completed its analysis, the findings are provided to the customer at no charge. This report will include a list of goldenram proprietary part numbers along with their prices. If the customer decides to upgrade, the needed parts can be ordered through the Technology Advisors personalized website that was created when he or she joined the goldenram team. While some customers will have the technical ability to install these parts themselves, others may prefer to have a professional perform the upgrade. In those cases, a trained goldenram technician can be dispatched to install the parts or perform the needed services onsite – anywhere in the United States.

goldenram has even developed a solution for customers whose computers are not online. Called StandAlone, it allows the customer to transfer the upgrade data from their computers onto a floppy disk or writable CD/DVD which is then provided to goldenram for analysis.

Although UpgradeDetectTM does not read personal files or data, and only retrieves the data necessary to provide the user with a list of suggested upgrades and accessories, some customers may be reluctant to let an outside entity electronically analyze their computers. For them, StandAlone is the perfect answer since it allows the customer to preview the collected data before it is submitted. For an even greater level of security, goldenram developed Super StandAlone which does not send any system-specific information out from the customer’s system. All the data collected is analyzed on the customer’s own computer, and the only information sent to goldenram is the order for parts or accessories.

It is also important to note here that goldenram has earned the three highest awards for quality manufacturing in the industry: the ISO 9001:2000, the QS9000 certificate – a requirement of the automotive industry's tier one suppliers – and the AS9100 certificate required by the aerospace and aircraft industries. That means our products don't void most original equipment product warranties.

goldenram Technology Advisors can also offer state-of-the-art computer services that that go far beyond upgrade evaluations, parts and accessories. We’ve all seen computer owners buy the latest greatest operating system, software or accessory and then throw up their hands in frustration after they discover that they can’t make them work, have compatibility issues or can’t transfer their old files into their new system.

It doesn’t have to be that way any longer. Today, if a customer buys a new operating system, software, hard drive, CPU or RAM upgrade, DVD burner – whatever! – goldenram has the technology to make sure it works right the first time, every time. And a professional goldenram technician is available to make it happen 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at any home or business in the United States.
goldenram has also developed cutting-edge virus removal and anti-virus software. But even more important, goldenram now has the most effective software in the industry to protect children against the explosion of pornography pushers and child predators who troll the internet looking for new victims.

The Advantages
For the customer, the goldenram advantage can be summed-up in two words: Time and Money.

The analysis is instantaneous and spot-on accurate. For the individual, that means no more frustrating delays waiting on parts and then trying to get rescheduled for tech support once the parts come in. For companies, network and system upgrade evaluations that used to take weeks to do manually and cost thousands of dollars, now take minutes and cost nothing. With UpgradeDetectTM, there are no more high-priced technicians jumping from computer to computer writing out a shopping list that may – or may not – solve the problem. And when parts or accessories arrive, computers aren’t taken out of service and torn down, only to discover that the wrong item was ordered.

Also, all goldenram shipments identify each analyzed computer separately. This guarantees that when a customer receives an upgrade package or accessory, each part that was ordered can be instantly matched to the appropriate computer. In other words, no more fumbling around with boxes full of “mystery parts” trying to figure out what goes where.

For business clients, all of this combines to guarantee less computer down time and fewer projects delayed waiting on parts returns. That is especially important given that some estimates are that with the current system – which is often little more than trial-and-error – one computer parts order in six is wrong! For the business community, that has been a financial and productivity nightmare.

goldenram also saves time and money by being a one-stop source of upgrades and accessories regardless of computer brand, and by making sure that most parts are shipped the same day they are ordered. In addition, the goldenram NStock system assures a complete inventory of all major brand systems at prices as much as 40 percent less than other suppliers.

Another example of the cost-saving versatility of the goldenram system is that, unlike most other suppliers, goldenram can often provide upgrades and accessories for computers that are more than ten years old. This unique goldenram advantage allows individuals and companies with older equipment to weigh the cost of upgrading against the cost of buying new computers.

The Opportunity
It is no secret that the computer industry changes almost daily. But through all that change, one thing has remained constant: problem solvers get rewarded.

Clearly, the goldenram approach solves what is unquestionably the most frustrating problem faced by computer owners and users today. Simply put, it is an idea whose time has come. By any measure, it is faster, more reliable and less expensive than the outdated trial-and-error system it replaces. It has also been tested and perfected in the real world. To date, UpgradeDetectTM has been used to analyze over one million computers, and the necessary tweaking has been done to make sure that goldenram customers get the right information – first time every time.

For those who put themselves on the ground floor of this latest technology revolution, the personal satisfaction and financial security potential is enormous. Realizing that potential is what the goldenram Technology Advisor program is all about. With no investment or technical knowledge required, it offers you the freedom to be your own boss, set your own hours, determine your own income and work from your own home. goldenram calls it Performance Driven Marketing and its only limits are those you put on yourself.
