[CGUYS] Upgrade the video card?
As digital files get larger and more numerous, I find even simple sorting and labeling tasks get more sluggish. I have a Dell Dimension Pentium 4 running XP. I have maxxed on RAM, and installed a SATA hard dive. Would upgrading the video card make much of a difference, or have I gotten near the limits of my processor and bus? Other suggestions?

Re: [CGUYS] Upgrade the video card?
Get a 4GB flash drive, install it permanently, and put the swap file on it. Use it all for the swap file. For that portion of the swap file, set the min and max sizes of the swap file to be the size of the whole drive (as much as Windows will allow, which is a few megabytes less than all of it). Keep some swap file on the installed hard drive, and set its minimum size as low as possible. Then, early use of the swap file should default to the flash drive, but there is swap file available if the flash drive should fail or become accidentally removed.

Re: [CGUYS] Upgrade the video card?
a new generation of flash memory has come out. it is much faster, and not that much more expensive. http://www.steves-digicams.com/pdf/sdhc.pdf when I bought one of these from bestbuy on stupid sale: Card-SDSDBR-409 SKU: 7956599 it came with a card reader. an $8 value!! it is not backward compatable with old sd.

[CGUYS] Can't open larger images
A friend sent me this message, and I am stumped as to the reason for, or the solution to, his problem. Any thoughts? I've got a question about a problem I've been having with my computer. I can't open larger photo (jpeg) files anymore . . . I get a blank screen, and depending upon which photo display software I use I either get message cannot create bitmap file (ACD See), or just a blank screen (Explorer). I'm unable to edit the file as well. For example I can see a 800x300 photo, but not a 1500x700. This only began a week or so ago. He is running Windows XP on a generic PC and doesn't have any kind of unusual hardware or software - just normal homeowner stuff.

Re: [CGUYS] 1024 cylinder threshhold
You are right., Don't worry about it. If I recall, it was mostly a BIOS issue - whether it could recognize a large partition to boot from it or not. You could double check and check your BIOS settings at boot time - go into Setup with a special key like Del or F2. If there is something about enabling LBA, enable it. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Upgrade the video card?
Any P4 level machine should be able to handle photos easily, even 5-7 megapixel ones (but you weren't real specific). I'm going to guess this is a problem with whatever app you're using to process the pix. Try updating it or un/reinstalling it. Be more specific about what part of the process is slow, e.g. when you drag a pic onto Windows Media Player is it slow to display it? If you're 'maxxed on RAM' then I assume you mean 2gb or more. That should be plenty and you should never be hitting your paging (swap) file. If you were, I'd still disagree that using a flash drive and trying to force the page file to it would be a good idea. First, Windows automatically chooses the best page file to use, and there's no way it should pick one with only 4gb on the whole drive.

Re: [CGUYS] Upgrade the video card?
For small files, quite true, but for large files, I suspect that the rotational speed and cylinder-to-cylinder tracking would be the bottleneck. It sure has helped my machine with very large files, and it does get used, as evidenced by the activity light on the thumb drive. It's not very difficult to try and see whether you like it.
