ReviewSaurus – Technology Rocks!

Till this date, Microsoft’s windows had two options for the memory requirement of the computer, so that the computing can be done at cheaper rates and that too without installing the physical memory.

1. Physical Memory (RAM)
2. Page File (A virtual memory file, stored on hard disk).

The page file is used by the Windows OS to cater the needs of various applications when the physical memory is fully used up. The reason for that is, that Virtual memory is slower as compared to the physical memory and thus Phyical memory takes the first priority.

However, with the release of Windows Vista, Microsoft has introduced a new technology called ReadyBoost. With the help of this technology one can use any Flash drive, SD Cards, CF Cards as the third memory option for the computer.

Now, the benefits of USB Flash Drive or Cards as a source of Memory :

1. It is faster than the virtual memory which is accessed through the hard disk drive.
2. It is cheaper as compared to the actually Physical Memory.

How can it be activated ?

Mozilla foundation has already announced this around a month back that they’ll stop supporting Firefox Version 1.5 after 24th April. By support they mean that they’ll not release any more security upgrades for any version less than 2 and thus I’ll suggest you to upgrade your browser to Firefox version 2.0.3 (which is the latest version till this date.).

Almost each and every plugin, is now compatible with the latest version of Firefox and believe me, there is no point in using a plugin which is not updated regularly with the newest release of the browser. I’m sure that your security is much more important than your convenience.

So, one thing which I’ll say that UPGRADE WITH CONFIDENCE! (I’m sure IE 7 lovers actually love this line too!).

I’m sure that the users of Windows Vista must be missing the RUN feature of windows. This handy little utility is capable of running various shortcuts and commands directly. However, this feature is not flaunted by Microsoft in many versions of Windows Vista (not sure about which edition has it and which doesn’t).

Anyway, the workaround to get the RUN feature work for you are :

1. Using the shortcut for RUN command : Press the Windows Key + R.
2. Bringing it permanently on Start Menu : With this you can have RUN command sit at the start menu just like the earlier versions of Windows. For this you have to follow these steps :
a) Right click on the start menu or the task bar and select properties.
b) Click Customize button.
c) You’ll see the option of displaying RUN in start menu. Simply Select it.

With this you’ll be able to run various commands with ease and this article, is a must read for those who are still not sure of what they can do with that RUN command.
