Latest Computer Technology

Do you know what is inside your computer? Maybe you peeked when the service technician was installing something for you. When you first open up the CPU and look inside, a computer is a very threatening machine. But once you know about the different parts that make up a complete computer it gets a lot easier. Today's computers consist of around eight main components; some of the advanced computers might have a few more components. What are these eight main components and what are they used for? We will start with beginner level details to get you started.

Latest Computer Technology

First is the Power Supply. The power supply is used to provide electricity to all of the components in your computer. It is usually a rectangular box and is usually positioned in one of the corners of the computer. To find it for sure, look to see where the power cable plugs into the back of the computer and you have found the power supply. Most power supplies today are calculated in wattage and come in 50 watt increments (500 watt, 550, 600, etc

The third and a very important component of a computer is the CPU (Central Processing Unit), Known as the brain of the computer and nothing is going to happen without it. All major calculation performed by a computer are carried out inside its CPU. It is also responsible for activating and controlling the operations of other units of the system. The faster the CPU can do these calculations and give the correct answers, the faster the computer runs for the user. CPUs are now measured in gigahertz (Ghz) and they are at present up to our 3.8GHz or faster

A fourth component is the RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM is used as momentary working storage for the computer. We have different types of RAM memory with different speed, but it should match with your motherboard so that it can work properly. The more RAM you have in your computer, the better your computer will work.

The fifth component is the Hard drive. This is where you can store everything. Our material on the hard drive includes the operating system (Windows XP, etc), games, and different types of software, etc. over the year the capacity of the hard drive is continuously improving and in the interval of few years its capacity have gone from around 20MB to over 500GB and more. So you can store a lot more information on your computer such as games, pictures, videos, applications, and more.

Sixth component is Cooling fans. Often most computers come with one cooling fan or it might have several. Its help to cool down the heat generated by others components, Such as power supply, the CPU, and some high-end video cards. The work of all of your cooling fans is to get this heat out of the case so that nothing overheats and breaks. While most of the noise you hear coming from a computer can be credited to the cooling fans, remember to be tolerant. The cooling fan is your friend!

Our Seventh and final component is the mixture of several different devices. These are the Cd-rom, DVD drives, floppy Drive and Backup devices such as external hard drive.

Computer Memory - Why It's Important

Many of you have probably asked yourselves this many times. For those of you who are looking to buy or have already purchased a Computer may still be asking yourselves what this piece of hardware does for your Computer. Buying computer memory is not as simple as going to the store and asking a sales representative for it. Each computer can only support a certain type of memory.

Computer Memory - Why It's Important

Computer Memory - Why It's Important

Walk into any computer store and either look at the cute little sticker they put on the case or just ask the sales representative and they will almost always let you know exactly how much memory, or RAM, the computer has. Ask them what it means and depending on where you're shopping you may or may not get an answer. The purpose of this article is to help you get a better grasp on what you need to look for when it comes to computer memory.

A more common name for computer memory is RAM. RAM stands for Random Access Memory. For those of you who are not fluent in computer lingo you may still be complexly lost.

To help you understand better about the purpose of RAM we will go over how anything gets done on your computer without RAM. Each time you start an application on your computer it goes through many steps to bring up the application you are wanting. It usually starts with an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse. Let's pick on a well known application that most of you are probably familiar with; Notepad. You would start by taking a hold of your mouse and clicking on the start Menu. Doing so would in turn pop up a Menu. From that Menu you would find and click on notepad. Once you click on the notepad icon, information is sent electronically through the wire of the mouse down to your USB or PS/2 port on your motherboard. When it gets there the information then travels to your processor. The processor then decides where it needs to send this information. Most of the time, the information is needed to be sent to your hard drive, since your hard drive is where most of your information is kept. Once the information gets to your hard drive it then searches for Notepad. All the files needed to run Notepad are sent back to your processor. The processor then sends the files where they need to go to run Notepad.

Now that seems like a long journey to pull up an application as simple as Notepad, doesn't it? This is what makes RAM so wonderful. All those files that are needed to run Notepad can be stored on RAM. When you click on the Notepad icon on your start menu your RAM will actually send the required files needed to run Notepad rather than the long trip explained above. This alleviates a lot of stress on your computer. Instead of worrying about where the files that are needed are and searching for them, RAM will step up and let your computer know, "Hey, I have those files right here! You can start Notepad now!"

If you have ever seen a stick of RAM you may have noticed that it looks a lot like little black squares attached to the greenish colored circuit board. These little black squares are where the information is stored.

RAM does this for starting and running all applications on your computer. The most important thing you must remember when looking at memory is that each application you need to run requires a certain amount of RAM in order for it work correctly. The more you have the better off you will be and the Faster your computer will run. You have to be cautious though, having too much RAM can cause problems. The problems mainly arise because of a combination of both hardware and software restrictions. If you have a fAirly recent computer you could safely get away with running 2GBs of computer memory. The operating system you probably use, Windows XP, will only support up to 4GBs. This isn't a lot when you compare the size to hard drive space. But your computer doesn't need a lot of RAM because the information that is stored in it is not permanent. It would be almost impossible for you to run so many applications and work on them all to 'fill up' your RAM with application information. But as technology grows applications will require more and more RAM to operate. So the amount of RAM that you can safely use will eventually increase. Windows XP 64-bit version already supports up to 16GBs of RAM and although it hasn't gone retail yet, Windows Vista will also support up to 16GBs. This will allow for programmers to create a more diverse range of applications to run on your computer.

The underlying factor in the benefits of getting RAM is two-fold. It relives stress on your CPU and can make your computer a lot Faster. Now if you upgrade from 512MB to 1GB you may not see much of a difference. Going from 512MB to 2GB will undoubtedly show you some massive speed improvements with your computer. Always be sure to check with your motherboard documentation before getting RAM for your computer. Each motherboard will only support a certain type of RAM. Don't make the mistake of buying RAM that you can't even use.

Computer Memory - Why It's Important

The Best Computer For Graphic Design

Since Desktop Publishing (DTP) came out in the eighties, graphic designers have been utilizing Computer technology. This has pushed all graphic designers to become competent with Computer hardware at the very least.

The Best Computer For Graphic Design

What is Desktop Publishing (DTP)? In the 1980s, it was a common term applied to digital publishing systems. These systems were developed to replace large, pre-press, specialist design and compositing systems.

Graphic designers rely heavily on computers whether these are Windows PCs or Apple Macs. Whichever computer a graphic designer chooses to use, he/she will opt for the best computer that he/she can purchase. Graphic designers will rarely choose cheap computer hardware.

Back in the eighties, Macs were the only choice for designing and printing. Almost all design layout and graphics software was developed for Macs only or even if the software could be used in Microsoft Windows PC, it was much more reliable on a Mac. Additionally, at that time, Macs were associated with the different technologies used in the prepress and Windows PC was just not a practical choice. Today, modern versions of Mac OS X and Windows allow graphics designers to use design software either in a Mac or PC - they are no longer forced to choose one over the other.

Many graphic designers are not IT experts and making a decision on which computer to buy can be quite daunting. Of course, if money is not a problem, the decision would simply be to buy the most expensive Apple Mac or Windows PC. But most designers cannot afford to do that. In fact, some creative professionals have budgets for second hand equipMent only. What really matters to these graphic designers are issues that regular computer users do not even have to think about. These are printer color accuracy, monitor calibration, hard disk speed and external storage devices for gigabytes of data.

Recent studies show that the top 5 computers for graphic design are a mix of Macs and PCs and both laptop and desktop computers fall in this category. But just like any product that a consumer buys, it really is the personal preference of the designer whether he/she will use a desktop computer or a laptop. The important thing is that the user/graphic designer has the appropriate software for the type of computer that he/she wants to purchase.

The Top 5 computers for graphic design are:

Mac Pro Desktop

The Mac line of computers is still widely preferred by most graphic designers. According to Apple, the latest Mac Pro features the all new quad-core Intel Xeon "Nehalen" processor which makes the Job of a graphic designer much easier. Apple states further that the new Mac Pro is up to 1.9 times Faster than its predecessor. Each processor has an integrated memory controller that allows the processors to have Faster access to stored data in the computer's memory, with memory latency decreased by up to 40 percent. This feature will save a lot of time for designers when they do their work.

MacBook Pro Laptop

The MacBook Pro Laptop comes in 13, 15 and 17 inch sizes. It has high-performance NVDIA graphics and LED backlit display which makes editing graphics easier and clearer. This latest model has battery power that lasts up to 8 hours (on 17-inch version). It is powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Dell Studio XPS Desktop

The Dell Studio XPS Desktop features the Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. If you plan on working with intensive video or 3D editing, you can have an upgrade to the 16GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM. But its base 3GB memory will enable you to edit photos, create vector or raster designs with ease. Its high-definition ATI graphics card creates clear, precise and flawless graphics - just what a graphic designer needs.

Toshiba Qosmio Laptop

The Toshiba Qosimo is an affordable solution to your graphic design needs. It is powered by either the Intel Core i7 or i5 processor making it easier to create flawless graphics. It has a high-end NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, which ensures that you can clearly see every pixel and frame that you edit. It has a 6GB DDR3 1066MHz memory and a 1GB GDDR5 discrete graphics memory.

HP Pavilion Elite Desktop

The HP Pavilion Elite Desktop is an affordable computer. It is powered by either an AMD Athlon or an Intel Core processor that ranges from an X4 630 quad-core (Athlon) to an i7-980X six-core Extreme Edition (Intel). All HP Pavilion Elite Desktop computers come with genuine 64-bit Windows 7 for the latest technology. Memory ranges from 4GB up to 9GB which guarantees smooth and effortless run of the high-end graphics that you use.

Laptop Memory Upgrades - Why More Memory Means Better Performance

Why more memory in your laptop, notebook, sub-notebook or netbook (as these all apply here) is a valid way to boosting performance.

Laptop Memory Upgrades - Why More Memory Means Better Performance

Laptop Memory Upgrades - Why More Memory Means Better Performance

Why laptop Computer memory matters?

The topic of laptop memory size is by no means new. What is more distinct however is that most people hear advice such as "more memory is always better" and automatically conclude that this stateMent is true whatever the use of your Computer. The real truth behind this is that while such advice is generally correct, it is best understood once one appreciates the background facts. All laptop Computers make use of a certain Operating System - Microsoft Windows is by far the most popular (Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista or 7 etc.). This is the software that both interacts and manages two aspects: a) the hardware and other software used on it and b) the user (hardware).

An Operating System must load its own components into memory when it starts. In effect, a large chunk of its footprint gets copied into physical memory within your notebook computer, this in turn found on the memory modules inside your laptop's chassis. To add to this, any additional software that is necessary to run your laptop computer for the purposes you use it is also loaded. This usually means any device drivers and third Party software. Ideally the Operating System attempts to allocate most or all the above in physical memory. If there is an insufficient amount of such memory, the Operating System will imitate it on your laptop's storage medium. The latter will in most cases mean a hard drive or solid state drive (in newer laptops). The term given to describe it is virtual memory.

Since both a hard drive and solid state drive are considerably slower than notebook computer memory, the effect of this is that performance will be degraded. The net outcome of this is that it may take longer for software programs to load, to run, to shutdown, and to switch between (multi-task) etc. The more of these software programs run in such circumstances, the more the performance will suffer.

How much laptop computer memory is enough?

A cure to the above problem are laptop memory upgrades. This will expand the total amount of physical memory in your laptop computer and either reduce or completely eliminate the slowdown associated with insufficient physical memory. How much laptop computer memory is enough is subject to two different aspects: a) what types of software do you use on your laptop computer and b) how much laptop memory does your laptop computer support.

To answer part "A" you need to ask yourself what software you use. For example, you may simply use it for Internet browsing, word processing, the odd game. Alternatively you may use it professionally for graphics work or audio or video editing. Furthermore you may be an avid gamer. Each of these scenarios reflects a different optimum amount of laptop computer memory. For simple Internet browsing and similar 2GB will in most cases be enough. If however you are a professional doing graphics/audio or video work then anything between 4-8GB will probably suit you best. If on the other hand you are a gamer, 4GB or more is likely what you should be aiming for.

To answer Part "B" is a little trickier because in order to determine how much laptop computer memory your laptop supports, you need to either look into the user manual (not always possible and exhaustive) or determine the memory controller it uses. Either method works with the latter being more for the hardcore computer user. Luckily, there are tools online that will scan your laptop computer and tell you this information without any or much technical awareness on your part. You can find these tools by simply searching online, or optionally visiting my website. Whatever the outcome from part "A" or part "B" you should always opt for the most optimum laptop memory upgrades, both for your laptop computer and the tasks you use it for. As a result you will guarantee a smoother user experience.

In Summary

Be sure to extract the most important traits of the above information. Both the Operating System and any additional software used on your laptop computer are loaded into physical memory. Should your laptop computer not have enough of physical memory for the purposes for which you use it, the Operating System will simulate it in what is described as virtual memory. Unfortunately, the latter is considerably slower than physical memory and thus performance is degraded.

A well chosen laptop memory upgrade is a solution to the above. How large it should be is determined via a) what you use your laptop computer for and b) how much physical memory your laptop computer supports. This information can be rendered via asking yourself the first question, and looking in the user manual or using an online scanner for the second question.

Once you determine and opt for suitable laptop memory upgrades, you will witness a Faster performing laptop!

Different Types of Computer Memory

Computer memory refers to either of two types of Computer storage. Volatile memory refers to RAM that needs to be constantly refreshed to be retained. Static memory is permanent storage that is retained even after the Computer is turned off.

Different Types of Computer Memory

RAM or Random Access Memory is volatile memory that is erased when the power goes off. Program instructions and data held in RAM can be accessed and saved much more quickly than that held in permanent storage. Therefore, files needed to run a program and data that is being processed are held in RAM while they are in use. The amount of RAM you need depends at least partly on the operating system( a program that directs all the basic functions of a Computer such as accepting commands from a keyboard, displaying input on a monitor screen, and controlling disk drives and some other peripheral devices) you select as well as the type of programs you intend to run.

When you boot up the computer, in other words turn it on, the operating system or part of it is loaded into the RAM along with a variety of utilities required for normal operation. Therefore, programs and data are loaded into what's left. As little as 2MB(megabytes) total will suffice for most DOS( disk operating system-a proprietary program that controls all the basic functions of a computer) programs. In a Windows 3.x environMent, 4MB is the recomMended minimum, but 8MB runs far better.

Beyond operating system demands, the amount of RAM required depends on the applications to be run. For example, heavy graphics, real time video, and such need more RAM to keep things from slowing to a crawl or stop. Generally, off-the-rack machines come with 8 to 16MB, more than enough for a general purpose computer.

With improved handling of memory, reduced access times, and lower cost have conspired to make larger amounts of RAM practical. Which in turn has given programmers free rein to add more bells and whistles. This also helps programmers to become more creative in writing programs that require more RAM. There is reason to believe that this trend will continue.

As for static memory, you don't have to be very old to remember buying a computer without a hard drive, then later installing a 20MB hard drive, unable to imagine ever needing more storage than that. Today, a 250MB hard drive is popular; however, most new computers are in the 500 to 1000MB( 1 gigabyte) range. And you may need all of that MB and then some.

Computer Memory fact #1: For the faint of heart, when programs or data files are called up from permanent storage, they are not moved, they are merely copied. If the power goes off during processing, programs generally are safe. The only loss will be data that was changed since the last save.

Computer Memory fact #2: If you decided to get a MAC computer, don't worry. The MAC computer comes loaded with a proprietary operating system and the proper amount of RAM to run it.

Photographic Memory - 5 Tips to Improve Memory

Photographic memory has been considered impossible to acquire since you need to be born with it to acquire it. However you don't need to remember everything using a photographic memory. You can use it just to remember certain things you want to. Here are 5 tips to improve your memory using a photographic memory.

Photographic Memory - 5 Tips to Improve Memory

Photographic Memory - 5 Tips to Improve Memory

1. Associating Pictures

When you read some material and want to remember the facts, you can make up a story which explains the facts in a humorous way. For example, if you want to remember the components of a Computer, you can picture each component using a funny image.

The motherboard can have your mother's face on the side. That's easy to remember. The RAM (or Computer memory), can look like a battering ram, the CPU can look like a brain since it's the brain of the computer.

Using these images, you can picture in your mind, all these components together with the associated images. If you have a test on what are the components of a PC, you can imagine the picture and write out all the answers.

2. Remembering Faces

When you try to remember a person's name or face, you need to look at their features such as hAir, eyes, mouth, nose and shape of face. Then imagine their names on their foreheads.

You then need to imagine the picture in your mind of the this person. The more you practice doing this, the better your photographic memory becomes.

3. Photograph Games

A good exercise you can do to remember pictures is to play games where you train up your brain in relation to photographic images.

Take a picture of a magazine, look at it for a minute and then write down everything you can see. After playing this game for a few weeks, many people have stated that they have improved treMendously in remembering images they've seen.

Here you are training your brain on how to remember pictures you've seen when you concentrate on it.

4. Practicing Photographic Memory

Another game you can play to improve your photographic memory, is to look at your desk or room, for about 5 seconds and then close your eyes and think about the picture in your mind.

Can you recall all the details you've seen? Can you see all the colors of the items?

5. Concentration

If you want to improve your photographic memory, then you need to practice concentration. Let's say for the above games and exercises that have just been discussed - you won't succeed unless you focus on what you want your brain to remember.

Children have better photographic memories than adults. They also have a better short term memory. The reason is that they focus on what they see and thus it's easier for them to remember.

Adults prefer multi-tasking, where their thoughts jump everywhere and they're doing something with their hands simultaneously.

Focusing your attention on one task will improve your memorization of the task at hand. If you mutli-task or get disrupted, your memorization ability falls.

Having a photographic memory can be trained up. As long as you train your brain to remember images when you concentrate on a particular scene or objects. Having a complete photographic memory is impossible unless you are born with it.

But do you really want a true photographic memory? You'll remember everything you see. You'll go crazy. Practicing a photographic memory, is just one of the techniques to improve memory. You need to read up more on memory improveMent to understand other exercises and techniques so that you can improve your memory for the long term.

What is the Best Laptop Memory (RAM)

If you have ever been stuck with a slow laptop, you may have tried to upgrade the memory to give you a nice performance boost. Memory or RAM plays a very important role in to laptops performance, so it is critical that you get enough as well as Fast memory to make your laptop run smoothly. Therefore, here is a concise guide to show you how to select a new laptop with the perfect amount of memory for your computing needs.

What is the Best Laptop Memory (RAM)

To buy a new laptop with the right amount and speed of memory that will suite your needs, you will need to consider two factors. The first and most important is the amount of memory the laptop has installed. This will be measured in Gigabytes (GBs), where a typical> laptop will have anywhere from 1 GB to GHz 4GBs of memory.

If you only plan to user your laptop for office programs or surfing the internet, 1 GB of RAM will be enough to ensure your laptop is Fast and smooth. If however you want to multitask and use the programs above but also use instant messaging programs such as Skype or MSN messenger while listening to music or Watching movies, you should be looking at 2GBs of RAM to make sure your laptop will run smoothly.

Those of you that will want to play games or use intensive programs like video or graphical editing might want to consider 3-GHz 4GBs even though you might be able to get away with 2GBs. If you do go with 2GBs you might need to upgrade to more memory later on as new programs will use moreRAM as technology advances.

You can get more than GHz 4GBs of memory, but you will struggle to use all of it at any one time so buying more than GHz 4GBs will be a waste of money. Most manufacturers try to sell you more memory then you will ever use to try and get some more money out of you. Always remember that adding more memory only speeds up your laptop to the point where the programs you run have enough memory to use. Once this point is reached, adding additional memory will have no effect on performance.

What Causes Physical Memory Dump?

What do you do? Most people would just reboot the Computer and pretend nothing happens. Some people want to know what happened and what they should do to fix it. It can be very daunting and stressful when you get the blue screen of death while doing important work. You would not have time to save it because it happens suddenly without any warnings. You must do the work all over again after rebooting.

What actually causes the physical memory dump?
DLL error Hardware RAM Problems Memory allocation error COM error HIVE crash

What should you do when it happens?

If itoccurs because of your memory problem, then you should consider buying a new computer.

The ignorant way is doing a reboot and hoping that it does not happen again. The hard way is to adDress what caused the error and fix it manually. If it occurs because of your chaotic registry, you could find and fix it, which is very dangerous because one simple mistake can lead to a total error in your system. Reinstall your operation system might be a wiser decision to make.

The easy way is to pay a computer technician hundred of Dollars to fix it for you. But in fact you could do what the technician would do to fix your computer; the wise way is to be a computer technician yourself. Did I said that you could actually do what a computer technician would do to fix your computer? Yes, it is very simple really. A technician uses a simple software to fix your registry.

If you could be the technician yourself and pay less to get the software that you can use forever, why should you pay a technician hundreds of Dollars to fix it only one time for you?

You will want to do regular maintenance to keep your PC error-free so that this problem never re-occurs again.

Diagnosing Computer Hardware Faults

When your PC goes wrong and you have lost all hope the normal final sTAGe is to reformat your Computer and start versions of fresh. This will most likely resolve any software issues, remove viruses or any other nasties and give you a clean start. But what happens if you have already reformatted and the problem still exists?

Diagnosing Computer Hardware Faults

This means, most likely, you have a hardware fault. This is where problems can start.

Diagnosing a Computer hardware fault can be a right pain as any of the computers components could the causes. Unless you are intending to replace the enTire machine you need to carefully diagnose with what components the fault lies with.

I would advise you look at the computer into these main areas to analyse.

Memory /RAM

Power Supply

Hard Disk

Motherboard

This isn't a definitive list, obviously depending on your issue ie if your issue is that you don't get sound then it could be a sound card issue, similarly if you don't get a display then graPh Meter and check the volTAGe and current coming out.

Hard Disk-this can be one of the worst problems to have as if your hard drive does fail, unless you have been responsive and done regular backups of your most valuable data, you standto lose it all. Hard disks can go at any time and usually you will hear a harsh sounding clicking noise that is coming from your computer. If this is the case you need to probably replace the hard disk. Get someone who then knows what they are doing here to try and recover your old data for you.

If none of the above solves your problem then you could possibly be looking at the fault being with the motherboard or any other Plug in cards or devices you have. Remove everything to leave only the very basics. Take out all sound cards etc and any other PCI devices that are not essential. If you have more than one stick of ram then leave in only one and see if the problem resolves.

A Permanent Fix For the " Physical Memory Dump Error " in Windows 7

Windows was designed to perform a "Physical Memory Dump" when your Computer hits an error or problem. This basically means that whenever Windows hits a problem that's too big to overcome, it simply hits the "panic" button and restarts. But instead of restarting immediately and risk corrupting all your settings and files, your Computer attempts to maintain the integrity of your system by "dumping" your currentsetup to your hard drive. This error is characterized by a blue screen and restart from Windows. It's caused by two very common problems.

The first cause of the Physical Memory Dump error is actually the hardware of your PC. This error is initially caused by the incompatibility of certain pieces of hardware on your system. If you have just upgraded any hardware or have installed some new hardware, then you should remove it and revert back to your old setup immediately. Computer equipMent is extremely complicated and it should come as no surprise that various components from different manufacturers don't work with each other. You should find replaceMent upgraded hardware if you're getting the physical memory dump all the time.

Different Types of Human Memory

The process whereby memories are forged into the Mental system is a remarkable one that is often misunderstood. But by studying the nature of memory, we gain a higher insight in to the intricate workings of this most vital aspect of the human brain. Some compare the human memory to a tape recorder-yet it is not so simple. While memory can serve as a retainer for key data that we want to "re-play" over and over again, it is a more dynamic and complex mechanism. In addition to storing information, it also allows us to recall feelings, sensations, images, as well as carry out basic functions such as talking.

Different Types of Human Memory

Since human memory is such a complex system, it cannot be nailed down to an exact science. In fact, cognitive psychologists working in thefield of memory often have disagreeMents. What has been established is that there are three main types of human memory -sensory, short term and long term-plus a fourth related faculty called the working memory.

When we speak of "sensory memory," we are referring to the few split seconds that follows the initial perception of an object. If you are able to briefly look at something and immediately memorize its details, then that is an instance of sensory memory. Usually, in these cases, when you are only able to see something for a few split seconds, you might feel like you saw a lot more than you are able to describe.

Some of the data that is perceived in a sensory memory will subsequently be transferred to a short term> memory. We call short term memory the ability to recall something from several seconds to a minute ago.

There is also a type of memory that is referred to as working memory. It can be viewed as a form of short term memory, in that it refers to the limited store that is needed in order for certain Mental tasks to be performed. Whereas short term memory is rooted in duration, working memory is defined by purpose. Baddeley's Model of Working Memory defines three components to this type of memory -the verbal store, the visuo-spatial sketchpad, and the central executive, which determines control and rehearsal.

Finally, there is long term memory. Unlike short term and sensory memories, which disappear in abrief amount of time, long term refers to memories that can be stored for a period of up to several years. Psychologists disagree on how long term memory works. Some argue that a long term memory remains in the brain forever, but this is impossible to prove, as there has never been a human being who has lived forever!

While it was once thought that there was no real determining factor between what made in short term memory and long term one, research has since established that the brain contains numerous systems of memory and that information is constantly being transferred among these various systems. Hence, the ongoing research in to the mysterious nature of how memory works.

Smart Ram

My main system only has 3 gigabytes of ram but after all my applications loads I end up with a little over 1.2 gigabytes of ram before I start surfing and opening windows. How do I know this? I use a program from within a program. It is called Smart Ram and comes with Advanced Systems Care. You can use the free version endlessly but it is a very smart thing to buy the Pro license as soon as possible.

Now I know that most people can't really afford so much ram which is why it is critical that you know about Smart Ram because with it you can measure just how much your system can handle before it reaches a crucial point and crashes or locks up on you. This can be frustrating and downright costly if you are in the middle of doing somethingsuper important and your system crashes or locks up on you. Sometimes I've found that by deep cleaning the ram it releases the system but this is not something that you can count on 100% however it is often a choice that can be tried if all else fails.

Smart Ram allows you to monitor your ram status and to clear out the unused portions that windows programs often leaves occupied when you are no longer using or going to use the program. This allows the user to keep tabs of how many browser windows and other windows open source without slowing the system down.

This wonderful program comes bundled inside of Advanced Systems Care which does a splendid Job of keeping your registry optimized which is always changing and thus needs to be primed at least (1)ounces per day depending on your use of the Computer.

You can download a free copy at IOBit and highly recomMended that you upgrade as soon as possible to get the full power of the program. The free version you must remember to run and the paid version runs in the background to keep an eye on your system. Like hiring the programmers to run diagnostics on your system in the background for a very small price and the program is 100% yours with free updates. If you really want to take care of your Computer from the inside out then Advanced Systems Care along with Smart Ram.

I might as well Mention that Smart DefragMent can be run through Advanced Systems Care but it is not bundled with the software but is a separate download and is also free. Smart DefragMentis very robust and does deep down to defragment of your files on your hard drive which is really important if you want to keep your machine running at its peak. We all would like our systems to keep running at the same peak speed as when we brought it home and with the right tools it is possible to help the system to maintain that peak performance feel.

Disclaimer: Neither Ample Green Foundation or the (Thom Dickey) do not take any responsibility for your choice in using this software. You must always read the documentation very carefully and always back up your system before you do anything new to your system such as editing the system files.

Why is My Computer So Slow? Four Possible Reasons

Today's Computers have Faster microprocessors, more memory and bigger hard drives. When you think about the differences between a 386, Pentium 4 and you have to conclude the improveMent is astounding! So, why are so many of these modern day miracles running way below their potential?

Why is My Computer So Slow? Four Possible Reasons

Why is My Computer So Slow? Four Possible Reasons

In this article we will discuss four very common but often overlooked reasons why that rabbit in your PC has turned into a snail and we'll tell you what can be done to get it back up to speed.

You need more memory.

Don't overlook the obvious. Up until recently not having enough memory wasn't a problem. With the price of RAM becoming very affordable, most people were filling their Computers with more than enough memory to do the Job.Enter Windows Vista! Many computers built to an older spec were loaded with Vista and put on the market.

When the new owner got the computer home and took it for its first joyride it just didn't live up to expectations. The reason for this is, Vista is a resource hog. Many computers now come out of the box with Vista and 512 MB of memory. With Vista you need at least 1 GB of Ram. If your computer is slow and it has 512 MB of View with Ram you need to add more memory.

Spyware and viruses

Speaking of resource hogs. Spyware and viruses steal a lot of your computer's resources. Though it is not their main function to just make your computer run slowly, these programs can bring your computer to ascreeching halt.

Of course, you do have a good Spyware/Virus remover. Don ' t you? Also, you do realize for them to be effective, you have to keep up to date. By up to date, it means up to the minute.

You should have your remover program set to update and run automatically overnight or at some other time you don't regularly use your computer. If you don't, spyware and viruses will eat your computer alive! Slowing down is nothing compared to what could happen to your computer's resources if you don't have a good remover program you update and run daily.

Background programs

When you install new software on your computer, often times you install it to run in the background every time you start up. Most times you do this withoutknowing it. Look at the bottom right hand side of your screen.

If you see several icons there, you have extra programs running and stealing resources. Right click on these and see if you have the option of closing them. Many times, you can open the program and choose an option to keep these programs from starting automatically. Many times I've seen this move get a PC back to its old fleet footed self.

Corrupted registry

Here's one problem that is mostly overlooked. Any changes you make to your computer effects and actually corrupts your registry. So, it stands to reason, even when you do something positive; like remove spyware, you end up with a corrupted registry.

After months of corrupting your registry, albeit unintentionally, it will becomegood and out of whack. This will, in its early sTAGes, causes your computer to slow down. In its advanced sTAGes, it will freeze and crash and do more mysterious and troublesome things.

Many times I hear people say they have scanned for spyware and viruses and found none, but still the computer runs very slowly. Most times, it isn't until the registry is cleaned out and repAired by a top-notch registry cleaner that the computer's speed is restored. Make sure to run a good registry cleaner every week or so to keep your registry in excellent working order. After all, the registry is what your operating system is made of.

So there you have it. To recap:

512 MB is usually enough for Windows XP but not Vista. Keep your computer free of spyware and viruses. Don't let too many programs start automatically, and Run a good registry cleaner often.

Keep these key points in mind and put them to use. Then, you'll never have to ask, "Why is my computer so slow?"

RAM Defragmentation

You probably knew that after using your Computer for some time, the files on the hard disk will get fragMented and your Computer becomes slower. The same thing can apply to the RAM memory. This happens a lot Faster, because it is very frequently accessed, written to and read from.

RAM Defragmentation

RAM Defragmentation

When software stores information in the RAM, it is assigned a place on the memory. These adDresses are stored in the index table. However, when program try to assign large blocks of RAM, there could be not enough space on the memory. If that happens two smaller blocks of RAM are assigned and their adDresses are stored separately. This is what we call fragMented. Every piece of data that needs to be stored temporarily is storedin the RAM. This is also the case when files on the hard drive are accessed or games are played.

To make the RAM accessible again, you will need to run software that periodically checks the memory. If it becomes too fragMented, it must reassign adDresses in such a way that two blocks, assigned by one program, are placed next to each other.

This is very important, because a fragmented RAM slows down your enTire Computer. When files are accessed or documents are opened, the RAM is always used. By defragmenting your RAM, your enTire Computer will witness a very decent increase of speed.

Increase Your Laptop's Performance

There are a large number of people who throw away their resources every year by buying brand new Computers and discarding off the old ones at negligible prices. This is because that after a duration of 6 or 8 months their system's speed steadily declines and after every fresh installation of either a program or a game the condition worsens and ultimately it starts taking a lot of time even on the easiest of processes. But little do they know that despite the recomMendations of their system manufacturers, who will always suggest purchasing a new Computer, you can greatly improve the speed of your computer just by upgrading its memory or RAM (Random Access Memory)

Upgrading your RAM will help improve the performance of your system and your computer will be able to handle more games with greater ease. Fortunately, the part that is responsible for your computer's speed can be simply upgraded and also at a very reasonable price. Before upgrading your system memory or RAM you must know what type of RAM the computer utilizes? How it is configured, and how many RAM slots do you have in your motherboard, also if the computer memory is parity or non-parity. All these questions can be answered by studying the manual that came with your computer or by visiting your computer manufacturers' website. But more easily, RAM sites such as ramvalley.com offers online services such as RAM seekers, which will automatically scan your system and suggest the most optimal RAM upgrade for you thus simplifying our work.

People are usually surprised at how much difference a small RAM upgrade can make to their computer's efficiency. Normally a RAM upgrade can extend the usable life of your computer by another 2 to 3 years, at the fraction of the cost of purchasing a new one.

What normally comes to mind when thinking of a memory upgrade is, "How much RAM do I need?"
The answer to that greatly depends on what do you use your computer for, but as a rough estimate 512MB will be more than enough for majority of users, 512MB gives you enough room for Windows XP to run, and enough left over for a couple of internet applications, chat programs, antivirus and malware applications, and an excel spreadsheet or word processor all working simultaneously at acceptable speeds.

As for games, if you play moderate games and also do some photo editing on your computer such as using Photoshop tools, then you should consider getting 1 GB of RAM.
And if you use your system as a powerhouse and use it for editing photos, love editing and uploading videos to youtube and enjoy extreme level gaming then in that case you should think of purchasing 2 GB of RAM.

You can purchase your system RAM from various sources, made by various manufacturers. Before buying any RAM be sure to find out if the RAM is guaranteed to be compatible with your system or notebook (This is usually taken care of by the online memory analyzer tool explained earlier), ask for a return policy, and always make sure that the RAM device you are buying is backed by a lifetime warranty.
