Remember those 3600+$? well my share was just 400$ to buy some games and pay my internet bill. HMPH! My mom on the other hand HAD to buy a Laptop(Somewhere over 3.5 GHz i think) but i can't play on it. Noooo! that's for her job... :Angry:
The rest of the money went down the drain(I'd say) to buy a 50 days of travelin' round' our "Beeeautifulllly Country" (I know what i wrote) so right now I finaly found an area where the "All Country Internet Coverage" is realy covered PSHAW! so I ask of you (Finaly):
Is there ANY way to increasy the RAM and Video memory by using Hard Disk memory(you know make it to act like it's acualy RAM or Video)???
Please guys if you could answer today(as in the next 6 hours) before we hit the road again and the "All Country Internet Coverage" runs out of cover again.

It's called "disk swapping". Even Windows 3.1 could do it. In pure DOS, I think DOS4GW (the DOS extender) was the tool to use. I remember trying to run Heroes of Might and Magic I on my 386DX@25Mhz with only 4 MB of RAM. What a drag!
windows already uses your hard disk as memory... this is known as swap file... you however cant do this for video memory. (oprobably way to slow for video memory)
Intel Core2 DUO e6750 @ 2.66GHZ
Asus P5KC Mother Board
Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
2 Gigabytes DDR2 800 RAM Dual Channel
500 Gigabytes SATA2 Hard Disk
Creative X-FI Extreme Music
BFG Geforce 8800gt 512mb PCI-E (OC1)
Thermaltake 750watt Toughpower Power Supply
Thermaltake Armor+ MX Case.
video memory adjustments in the BIOS is usually only for on board (integrated) video and there is an un-official pack of hot fixes which contain several fixes Microsoft has released and will all mostly be included in SP3.
