Comp. Tutorial: Virtual RAM

Recently, my computer was slowing down and was being, well, slow. So, I checked DxDiag and it said, "256 SD RAM". I bought a 512 SD RAM and put it in. I am selling my two old ones so check out Kijiji.ca. Anyways, my computer did NOT speed up that much. I cleaned out the CPU, removed the dust and what not. I defragmented, disk clean ups, registry clean ups, the works. In the end, it wasn't worth it. So, before I stood up to throw my garbage of a computer through the window, I remembered something. Virtual RAM. It may not speed my computer up a lot, but still. The 2nd best thing to buying ACTUAL RAM. So, I took my old 4GB USB Drive and put it in for 512 Paging File. 1118 Paging File size. It worked and I speeded it up a little more than before. So, here is the tutorial on how to add Virtual RAM to your computer.

What You Need:
Computer
Spare USB Drive

TUTORIAL:
1. Plug in your old usb drive into the computer usb port.

2. Right click My Computer on your desktop and select 'Properties'.

3. Click the Advanced Tab and hit settings under the performance tab.

4. Now hit the Advanced Tab again and click the Change button at the bottom of the window.

5. Click your USB Drive letter and click 'Custom Size'.

6. Now, type something reasonable. Don't put 4096 if your computer can only handle 1GB.

7. If my current RAM was 256, I would type 256 so it doubles to make 512.

8. Also, the Initial and Maximum size should be the same.

9. After making sure have done everything correctly, click OK, OK again, and then Apply.

It will say restart your computer, so restart your computer and it shoud work.
Congratulations! You have successfully added Virtual RAM to your computer for FREE!

Applying for This Job....

Ok, This post is about me finding a job. Not just finding a job for me but for EVERYONE!

I E-mailed the guy for a data entry clerk position. I wait 1 week and received an email back.
He said I was VERY qualified and was suitable for the position. He then gave me his contact's email. It was a Yahoo Messenger address, so I needed to create a yahoo email. And so I did, I added the guy's contact to my Yahoo List and waited. And waited. And WAITED! Nothing, after sending numerous emails to this person, (whom I've forgotten the name of) I quit. Either this man has already filled the position or this is a scam. If he filled the position he could have at least sent an email that told me the position was filled. The things people do....

First Post of the Ummm.. Blog!

Hey, this is the first post of the Ummm... Blog! On this blog I will try and make posts that everyone finds interesting! So, for the today, I will be discussing Video Game Consoles!

So far we have 3 top consoles. Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii.

Xbox 360 retails for $199, Features a built in hard drive and has many great specs;

-512 DDR3 RAM
-Detachable AND upgradeable hard drive. The default HD is 20GB.

For the 360, You can buy many other attachments, like microphones, keyboards, etc.
Overall, It's an O.K system.

Playstation 3 retails for $399, ALSO features a built in hard drive with the following specs;

-256 DDR3 RAM - 256 LESS than the Xbox 360
-Upgradeable Hard drive, Also is detachable.

PS3, 399$ is a lot of money. It is pretty much the same as the Xbox 360. The controller is different of course. It looks different, other than that it's pretty pricey for a video game console that functions the same as the Microsoft Xbox 360. It does have a FEW good titles but other than that it is not worth buying JUST to buy those titles, such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and Resident Evil 5.

Nintendo Wii retails for $280 at Wal-Mart. It is different, but the downside is the graphics detail is a lil bit decreased. Pretty good system. Has many good titles, plus the ability to download SNES games etc.

-Motion control Controllers - Lol.
-Downloadable classic video games
-512 DDR3 RAM
-SD Card Slot for SD Cards! :)

Also has a few great titles such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart Wii.

So, I hope this post helped you understand these consoles a little bit better. But, personally I would never buy any of these systems myself, because I have a PC. Yes, an awesome PC! Please comment if you enjoyed this post--article I mean, yeah.
