If you have over 6GB ram, I would just set a static 1024 or 2048 swap (for software compatibility) and just leave it at that. Unless your doing some heavy lifting via video/image editing, your not likely to saturate your ram for the forseable future. As for placement, just stick the swap file...
This is where I see the difference. Digital distribution implies a network tether. Standalone distribution implies autonomy. I don't mind DRM as long as it suits that distribution system. In other words, don't sell me a boxed game and then treat it as if its digital distribution, where a...
yes.
You may not need this tip, but i'm going to post it anyway in case future readers are interested. Before you upgrade though,I recommend you strip your XP or vista installation down (delete unnecessary programs to free space) and image your XP or vista partition and stash it somewhere...
You didn't mention whether you will be going to 32 or 64 bit or if your going to being getting a full or upgrade version of Win7. For both 32 and 64 bit, 4GB will work fine but as stated above 6-8GB will really open things up for you if your going 64-bit. For dual booting, I'm going to assume...
"A Home Theater PC (HTPC) or Media Center is a convergence device that combines a personal computer with a software application that supports video and music playback, and sometimes digital video recorder functionality. An HTPC integrates many or all components of a home theater into a single...
Only Cyberlink Powerdvd Ultra has blu-ray playback. Which version do you have? I don't believe there are free alternatives yet because the codecs are proprietary.

I'm not sure if what your saying is necessarily a bad thing. HTPCs (in their current form)are not meant to replace your cable/sat box. They are meant to be a combined solution for playback of various media types like music and video.. Blu-ray, dvd and music can all be handled with ease (with...
There are three ways to approach this. All involve editing the autoexec.bat portion of Dosbox.config
1. To use one Dosbox shortcut with multiple dos applications, create a batch menu environment within the Dosbox.config autoexec.bat. That way, when you boot dosbox it will give you a list...
Fortunately, the demand for these types of software packages is increasing, so hopefully we will see dedicated HTPC operating systems in the future. I wouldn't even be surprised if MS detached media Center from Windows 7 and created a standalone package, in much the same way WHS came from...
You sound like a fan of the series, so I'll take what you say into consideration. Since I've only really played part 3 for any real length of time (I played the PS2 game only briefly), I can't really say which is the best. However, I do love the premise and I thought the story was great if...
Disgaea 3 always made me want to hurt myself after 30 minutes. Great premise surrounded by lackluster graphics supplied by a PS2 era game engine. The idea of Disgaea 3 is sexier than the game itself. My .02 :P
Those high recommended numbers mainly pertain to 64-bit systems. The maximum memory footprint for 32-bit software within Windows 64-bit was increased from 2GB to 3GB. Prior to this, if you had 3GB ram, the game would only use 2GB max, therefore leaving 1GB for system operation. Since in...
This will also happen when they roll out a new version. Chances are that they are going to be shipping an updated version of the slim. Probably not a new SKU if the changes are just internal.
Hindsite and all that mush, but if your planning on dual booting using multiple boot drives your best bet is to get a hard drive caddy system, that way your system drive is always first in the boot order and there isn't any software confusion. Just an opinion. T
