    It's called setting your paging file to 4092MB Max, and 4092MB Min. Biggest culprits of fragmentation: Windows managed paging file, second to that is setting the minimum/initial size way lower then it should be. On a desktop PC, and even more-so on a server, you will "magiclly" find that you...

    Ballmer: Win 7 Sales 'Fantastic', 2x Predecessors

    shadow703793Imo, not for a while, esp. if those businesses are still on XP and P4 type hardware and given the fact that businesses aren't spending much on extras these days. Obviously you know nothing about what "businesses" are doing in regards to Win7. I just got back from a Windows 7...

    Confirmed: Apple Puts Wrench into Hackintoshes

    Apple still hasn't learned... They are a software company trying to be a hardware company. If they licensed out OSX for use on all x86 machines they would crush Micro$loth. Although they should have opened up OSX to the PC community when Vista was at it's lowest point... something they will...

    Solution to 790i Freezes

    @Lord_Hades Dude, I am forever grateful for your post. I run a small business out of my garage building custom PC's. For the first time I am building a system for a customer that has an EVGA 790i MB and until your post I was starting to get a migraine. It came, out-of-box, with the P08 BIOS. If...

    If You Hate Apple and Macs, Read This

    Apple still, and forever will be, CRAP. I used to be a Mac fanatic but when Steve killed the clone market I was done, forever. To tie your OS to your hardware is the most idiotic thing to do. Apple's VERY STONG area is their OS. If they allowed someone to install their OS legitimately on any x86...

    Valve Appeals Left 4 Dead 2 Ban in Australia

    Dirtman73WTF is wrong with Australia? I used to think it'd be cool to live there, but they've got such a huge boner for censorship nowadays I think it's draining the blood form their collective brains. Fascism sucks. I apologize for the above post. I meant to repy to Dirtman73. This is tyranny...

    Valve Appeals Left 4 Dead 2 Ban in Australia

    rambo117umm, i was actually more along the lines of China as #1 remember the stupid deal with WoW? This is tyranny under the "goodwills" of socialism. Just read this quote from C.S. Lewis. It's explains it much more eloquently then I can. "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of...

    Valve Appeals Left 4 Dead 2 Ban in Australia

    Banning video games is a socialist act. It's why Chavez does it, and it's why Australia does it. It is blatant, in-our-face, socialism. The idea that the "Government knows better for you then you do for yourself" is socialism. “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government...
