Increasing Vista's RAM Usage
|
Hey guys,
I read something recently on how Vista looks at your RAM as a cache, rather than a resource. And of course, having an expensive cache, you want to utilise it fully, to avoid swap file usage.
Now with it being winter, I leave my... |

Plug in Tom's Render Loop in a few seconds!

Hey
My garbage collection timeline is now lovely and flat :)
I was too lazy to put the whole of Tom's render loop in, so I'll describe my simpler way. It's just as good as Tom's original because DoEvents only ends up getting called like 5... |

GPU: fan heatsink or passive heatsink with blower

Hey guys
I think I've reached the limit of my NV GeForce FX 5200. I managed to overclock from 250/405 to 298/524 but it seems to be its rate of cooling holding it back because my pci fan extractor only allowed a few more Mhz. Looking at the... |

Windows Media Player Auto Playlists

Cheers
p.s. curiously enough, all the auto ratings for me are 3* for new tracks, then as soon as they're played once it jumps to 4*, so it's funny if it's different for you! |

Thanks benryves!

VBA: Outlook - Removing IMAP purge confirmation
|
Hey Antheus, thanks for the reply.
However, that's the thing, when you move or delete from an IMAP folder in Outlook, it just _marks_ it for deletion - then you have to 'purge' the folder to actually delete the items! |
