Use Your Computer Hard Disc As RAM

Everybody knows how costly is to buy a new RAM. SO, in order to get almost equal performance, we can also use some memory from our Hard Disc as virtual memory, which acts as a substitute to RAM. Follow the simple steps stated below to do so….

1. Right Click on My Computer & go to Properties

2. Click on Advanced Tab & go to Settings in the Performance Section.

3. Select the next “Advanced” Tab on the “Performance Options” window. On the advanced tab, click the “Change” button in the “Virtual memory” section.

4. Comprehend the implications of the virtual memory settings. On the “Virtual Memory” window, the “initial size” is the minimum amount of hard drive space Windows will allocate to virtual memory. The “maximum size” is the largest size to which Windows will allow your virtual memory to grow. If you set this setting too low and Windows requires more virtual memory than the maximum, Windows will likely crash or freeze and you will need to reboot. Thus, you should select (or keep the selection as) “System managed size.” By allowing Windows to manage the virtual memory, Windows will increase and decrease the size of the virtual memory as-needed. It is not recommended under any circumstances to select “No paging file” because this can cause system instability.

5. Choose your virtual memory settings. On the “Virtual Memory” screen, you may modify your virtual memory settings in accordance with Step 4. Once you have made your settings, click the “Set” button. Windows will ask you to reboot. Once you do, your virtual memory settings will be changed.

Twitter Going To Launch A New Photo Sharing Service

Twitter has planned to launch its own photo sharing service  soon. Once its launch in near future you can easily share your family and friends photos to anyone. Twitter may be launching a third-party developers and photo apps .

Adding to this the hype around photo-sharing apps and Twitter’s need to find new revenue sources, and it’s starting to look like a no-brainer. Since it’s been confirmed by several sources, it is very likely that Twitter will be launching the new photo service this week at the D9 conference.

There aren’t that many details on how the service will work, though judging by what is already available it shouldn’t be something too complicated. Users will be able to attach an image to their tweets which will then leave at a separate URL.

Viewing the tweet on Twitter.com will display the image inline and other clients will probably follow with support. Twitter may also use a short URL to enable users to share the photo not only on the site, but on other places as well.

Apart from creating a more complete service, something that Twitter has started to do now that its infrastructure is up to spec, adding photo-sharing features could prove a valuable revenue source.

The obvious move is adding ads next to the images, which is what third-party sites already do. While Twitter shied away from advertising at first, it ended up doing exactly that to generate revenue, albeit in formats specific to Twitter, like promoted tweets and trends.
