Increasing VRAM
Aug 27, 2009
I currently have the Geforce 8600 GT 256mb <<(i think that's the VRAM not sure tho)
i can't run crysis on medium without lag....
my friend has a GeForce 8600 GT 1GB and can run crysis on High without any lag, and yes i have been to his house and personally played on his computer it is true! Don't tell me I'm lying i checked everything.
So, i can easily buy the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB but is it worth it? will it really make it so i can play crysis at-least on MEDIUM without lag on a low resolution like 1280x800 or even less. It's only $50 so even if i see a slight difference i would still buy it.

I'm looking at getting a new graphics card. I have set a budget of about $250 US. And I like nVidia.So that puts me in the GTX660 class of cards, pretty much.Now for that budget I see there are cards that have more VRAM - 3GB vs 2GB,or they have a slightly faster GPU speed and a faster shader clock. All the other specs remain the same for all cards in this class. But to get both it looks like I need to bump up to the Ti version and a $280+ budget.What do you think is the best bang for the buck? How important is any of this - or is it just splitting hairs?My primary application is CAD work using AutoCAD.

I have a shared graphics memory. My ram is 4 gb but my vram is only 64Mb. This causes issues with games,etc. I went through my BIOS a 1000 times without finding anything (Toshiba Sattelite E205 laptop)

My mic is at 100% and it is working perfectly fine and everyone can hear me. However, at night time I have to talk really quiet or else my parents will wake up and get very mad. Talking this quiet however, nobody can hear me.
Is there some way or some program that can increase the mic volume over 100% so I can talk quietly at night time and the people I'm talking to can hear me?

I'm always getting some graphical glitches when I minimize vmware workstation in full screen mode when running mac os x 10.6.6. And I think it's because of gdi objects always running out. So how do I increase the gdi objects in windows 7?

If bring it down to zero and it will immediately bring it back to 100%. It's like the system doesn't want to play any content below full volume.I first thought it was my mouse or keyboard, but I unplugged both of them but to no avail. I am at a loss as to what I should be doing. I can't play content at full volume, especially since I use headphones almost exclusively.[CODE]

I bought a new Philips SHP 2000. Decent headphone but no option to control the volume. Anyway, while watching movies I can use VLC or MPCStar to increase the volume beyond 100%. But for mp3, I usually go for WMP and the sound, obviously, is too low. Same way, while gaming the sound is too low even if I put it at 100% in game settings. The speaker icon in taskbar shows 100%.
Now, is there anyway to increase the sound?

Just a little hard to find bit of info on increasing the graphics size memory for the virtual SVGA graphics adapter on a Virtual Machine running under vmware products.
The default is only 16 MB (VRAM) which probably isn't enough to get Aero going on a Windows 7 Virtual machine. You need WKS 7 / vmware workstation 3.0 for 3D support in any case.
Solution
Edit the .vmx file with notepad (Open with notepad) and insert this line
svga.vramSize = "sizeInBytes"
I think 64MB is needed for AERO -- mine works with 64MB - but you could try 32.
Vm runs with FULL AERO -- no prob at all.
here's what I added to my .vmx file for a Windows 7 Professional X-64 Virtual machine - look at the last line.
pciBridge7.pciSlotNumber = "24"
scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "160"
usb.pciSlotNumber = "32"
ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = "33"
sound.pciSlotNumber = "34"
ehci.pciSlotNumber = "35"
vmci0.pciSlotNumber = "36"
scsi0.sasWWID = "50 05 05 66 67 3e f6 b0"
vmotion.checkpointFBSize = "134217728"
usb:0.present = "TRUE"
usb:1.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
vmci0.id = "780936453"
usb:1.deviceType = "hub"
usb:0.deviceType = "mouse"
ide1:0.autodetect = "FALSE"
ide1:0.allowGuestConnectionControl = "FALSE"
tools.upgrade.policy = "manual"
scsi0:1.present = "TRUE"
scsi0:1.fileName = "Windows 7_pro x64-0.vmdk"
scsi0:1.redo = ""
floppy0.present = "FALSE"
ide1:0.startConnected = "TRUE"
svga.vramSize = "64000000"
Give it say 64 MB. Don't forget its size in BYTES you have to set -- if you do it wrong then the VM won't power on so backup the .vmx file before messing around with it.

My laptop has increasing updates when I switch it on. It started at update 1 of 1 and is now at update 1 of 66. Which means it can take forever to start. I don't understand why this is increasing all the time? And I can't find any similar queries on any support sites? Is it possible this is a virus? I have AVG free anti-virus software and the computer scan is coming out clear. Even in Safe mode.

I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a notebook which previously ran Vista. No problems there .....
I've now installed Ubuntu (now updated to 10.04) so that it can boot to either OS. It all works fine and when I first power up, I get a screen which invites me to select the OS I want to use. There are however two problems:
1) it defaults to Ubuntu (whereas I would prefer it to default to Windows 7), and
2) the list of choices is getting increasingly complex with an expanding list of choices (with each major update of Ubuntu adding more); it even seems to include an option to go back to Vista!
As long as I move down the list and make the right selection quite speedily, I get to where I want to be (though, as I say, I would like to change the default option).
Is there any way I can edit/shorten this list without damaging the functionality and how can I change that default?

In setting up my wife's computer, I allocated 30 gigs to the C: partition...probably a big mistake. I'd like to increase its size by about 100G, and I have shrunk the D: and E: partitions accordingly, using the Disk Management tool.
Now however I am stuck with two separate blocks of unallocated space, and apparently no way to expand the C: partition into that extra space. Is there any way this can be done within Windows 7 or do I have to seek out some additional software?

i have a htpc at home, hooked up to a 1080p tv at 1920x1080. because i sit 10 feet from my tv, i needed to increase the text dpi to 150% so i can see what's on the screen. however, i found that increasing the dpi is just simply reducing the screen resolution to 1280x720, and then enlarged to 1920x1080 so everything is bigger. i know this is true because many program state that as my resolution. full screen Internet videos automatically go to 720p instead of 1080p (unless i disable dpi scaling for chrome, which makes my text small again). there is a dramatic decrease in detail (1080 -> 720) when watching blu-rays with 150% dpi because the resolution is lowered by dpi scaling. pictures in browsers are enlarged and not shown at the original resolution.dpi scaling is pointless if it just reduces resolution. is there a fix for this, or is dpi scaling just this poorly implemented in windows 7?

I've found that since recently starting with Win7 the font/point size in nearly every program I use is 'thin' or 'weak'. Even Firefox. It's all very pretty and neat and I can see it alright, but I'd like to be able to change it to suit me. No problem doing this in Word etc.I'm using a full-HD TV/monitor at full resolution. All I can see to do is change 'display image'. I note this can range from the default 125%>150>200.However, this brings up a window pointing out there may be problems encountered doing this.All I really want to do is change the font to [b]BOLD[/b] as I've just done! Is that so difficult?I'm assuming that all the other programs are taking their cue from font settings within Win7. As a Win7 newbie, am I right in thinking this and is there any way I can easily change to the bold font I'd prefer? Or am I missing something basic here?

I have an Intel I5 Ivy Bridge CPU, Win 7 64-bit Home Premium OS, 16Gb RAM and Nvidia GTX 550 TI graphics board with 1 Gb DDR5 memory. I run two real-time stock charting/trading programs on two monitors.
My objectives are to improve screen re-draw time and to decrease Windows' hard disk access. While there are other alternatives to consider, I'd like to invite the community to offer thoughts on two questions:
1. How to increase Window's RAM usage for paging/caching : The System Monitoring tools are showing that RAM usage is only about 30% of the 16Gb installed while Windows' hard drive caching is continuously busy. If there is a tweak to increase RAM usage, I would expand RAM memory to 32Gb.
2. Otherwise, I might install a 120 Gb Solid State Drive. Then, the question is whether using the SSD for the OS or as the cache drive as per Intel Rapid Storage
