system physical memory cache

poiki — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:19:33 +0800

I am having a problem with my vista.

im using vista premium on a 2gb ram machine and everytime i want to play a game it gives me only 600+ mb of my ram when there is more than 800 kept in cache. this is very very annoying because i turn everything non-essential off and i do not see why vista needs half my memory as cache!

any words on this matter and how i might be able to sort it out? thanks in advance.

btw, will installing xp solve this??

lappy CPU cache

poiki — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:09:23 +0800

i am planning on getting a new lappy, customising a dell.

however before i make my purchase, i am undecided about the benefits of cache.
would there be major differences between the centrino t7250 with 2mb cache and the t7300 with 4mb? both are 2 Ghz.

i plan to use the lappy for gaming and photoediting.

thanks in advance

question on macromedia flash 8 .swf to .avi export

poiki — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 20:12:57 +0800

I have made a flash animation for my university which includes embedded videos and audio.

my question for all the flash gurus out there is why when i export my animation as a movie (i.e. avi) the audio is completely out of sync with the rest of the animation and sounds garbled when it actually plays???

i don't understand why because when i publish it as an .swf or projector exe i have no problems with audio.

thanks alot in advance

i need to make some video editing (e.g. cutting segments) of movies that have been converted from vcd to divx. can anyone help me with any good program to go doing such editing? or how i can do it (i.e. do i have to convert to other fiile format first?)?

thanks in advance

im using an aztech 600e attached to a dlink DI-624 wireless router

my problem is that i cant connect to msn messenger thru the windows prog but i can connect to msn webmessenger. all the time my pc is telling me that MSN is uavailable but this cannot be.

also, when i download, my speeds are abominably slow at 5 KB/s when it should be 50 KB/s (im using streamyx 512). also, downloads seem to just get stuck halfway and never continue.

im a relative noob at networking but this has never happened before to me.
any pointers? thanks in advance

DNS settings are all ok.
