Computer Repairs In Se Suburbs

Scanners will fix it, its hard work and only do it if you have done lots of customisations that you really need to keep.

The first time you do it its going to take you *forever* to get the right mix of programs, and fresh installs are quick

Ye they can work, ive got mine setup on my PC and can work really well...

But for most people its generally gonna be faster to dump stuff to a external/spare hdd and just format up

If you spend more than 2-4hrs trying to fix something it generally would have been faster to format at

getting the pc back to where it was pre-format isnt too hard unless you have a zillion programs... and then, if you did have lots thats probably half the reason its running like a dog!

32 bit o/s addresses 4 gb of ram, including your video card memory.

I'd say your graphics card has 750mb...

64bit FTW

And yeah, +1 reformat/reinstall

yeh it addresses 4gb of ram, and my video card is only 512mb, which means the other 256 is allocated to other crap,

but i still stand that 32 bit vista is robing me of 750mb, i'm sure graphic cards use their own ram, and if it was 64 bit, it would use close to 4gb,

Forgot about that, I'm too used to servers where graphics cards are insignificant memory wise

Its an unfortunate limitation but 64bit support has been a little slow, I'd recommend trying it these days, as long as your running new software you will be fine.

Just run new versions of software, for example in really new versions of java they implemented pointer "compression" to reduce the 64bit overhead which eliminates one of the minor performance issues with going 64bit in java programs

Only slow takeup in the windows world. 64 bit processing. Up to 32gb of RAM. And these machines are due for an update.
