  • Memory Support: Question: I have 4GB of memory installed on my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, but it doesn’t show up. When I install my copy of Windows XP 64-bit, it works fine. What gives? Answer: For the x86 versions of Windows 7, they claim to support 4GB. In reality, the operating system can only access approximately 3.1GB even when a full 4GB is installed. This is due to how 32-bit operating systems handle memory access. If you were to install the x64 version of the same operating system, your machine will have access to the full 4GB. This information is primarily true for desktop computers. On laptops, you also have to take into account that the majority of notebook and netbook laptops use “shared” memory between system memory and video memory. Upgrading: Question: I bought this PC a few years ago, and it is currently running Windows Vista Home Premium. I bought an upgrade copy of Windows 7...

  • Last month unveiled a beautiful thing at E3, the XBOX360 Slim.  I’m posting information from engadget.com (and will include a pingback at the end of all of this).  Everything about this is looking good, from the quite DVD drive (as opposed to the original 360), the sleek design, the spacious hard drive bundled with it (250GB!) to the integrated WiFi (what I was really waiting for).  Some personal notes that I’ve been laughing at myself since I’ve heard of this release (and a real kick to the nuts of PS3 enthusiasts), is the fact that while the PS3 reduced in features, the XBOX grew in an amazing way. Here’s some quick notes from Engadget.  The link to the full article is linked below:   Other quick notes: Although it’s not quite as hot as the original, the new Xbox 360 still generates a fair amount of heat, which is vented...
