Yeah bwoiee.
I have no idea what possessed me to do this, but I bought a 300x CF card and a CF-to-IDE adaptor to use it with, then I set it to be my Z: drive and put a 1.8GB pagefile on it. I figured it would benefit from the virtually-nonexistent random seek times that FLASH [...]

AMD Athlon 2200 XP
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
1.2gb ram

A new laptop is probably out of my reach for at least another year so I wanna upgrade my RAM to get a little better performance since I multitask a lot. I have an HP Pavilion dv4000 with 1 GB of RAM (2 512 sticks). I found a couple brands that were around $150 per [...]

Haven’t built my new computer yet, going to use Vista Business 32 bit. It’s the only version I could get from the Academic Alliance. I know I only get a max of 4gb, or is it it 3.1gb? Or what is it really?
The video card memory counts against the 4gb, right? So if I [...]
think it probably is but just to confirm..
when I try and load a video my screen goes blank on/off and the CPU hits 100% usage. If I leave the video running the blank screens become more occurent until the PC hangs/reboots.
pretty similar to this guy really
but my PC doesn’t need a better PSU [...]
I recently built a new computer and originally had 2Gb of RAM in a Gigabyte mobo. I decided that since this was my main rig and HTPC combined that it could benefit from the cheap prices of additional ram.
I added two more sticks of 1Gb ram (so 2Gb total).
