Patent

CA 2022347

A system and method for upgrading a computer is disclosed. Certain essential chips present in the original computer system are functionally, but not necessarily physically, removed from the computer system. Functions which would otherwise be performed by the original chips are instead performed by higher-performance chips on a plug-in module which is plugged into the computer system. The functional removal of the certain chips from the original computer system is achieved through simple insertion of the plug-in module. No replacement or substitution of original chips or boards is necessary. Furthermore, upgraded computer systems may be further upgraded by replacement of a first plug-in module with a second plug-in module with different performance characteristics.

L'invention est constituée par un système et une méthode de mise à niveau d'un ordinateur. Certaines puces essentielles présentes dans l'ordinateur originel sont fonctionnellement éliminées du système informatique, sans toutefois être nécessairement extraites physiquement du système. Les fonctions qui auraient ordinairement été prises en charge par les puces originelles sont maintenant prises en charge par des puces plus performantes montées sur un module qui est enfiché dans le système. L'élimination fonctionnelle de certaines puces de l'ordinateur originel se fait par la simple insertion d'un module enfichable. Aucun remplacement ni aucune substitution des puces ou des cartes originelles n'est nécessaire. De plus, les systèmes informatiques de mise à niveau peuvent subir de nouvelles mises à niveau par le remplacement du premier module enfichable par un second module enfichable à caractéristiques de performance différentes.
