How to use pendrive as ram memory in windows 7 & 8

by
Hi friends, Do you know Windows 7 / 8 and Windows vista comes with a ready boost option.
Q-What is ready boostAns- “ReadyBoost is a disk cache component of Microsoft Windows, first introduced with Microsoft’s Windows Vista in 2006 and bundled with Windows 7 in 2009. It works by using flash memory, a USB flash drive,SD card, Compact  Flash, external hard drive or any kind of portable flash mass storage

system as a cache. ReadyBoost is also used to facilitate SuperFetch, which allows it to perform analysis of boot-time disk usage patterns and creates a cache which is used in subsequent system boots.” Source
If you are using a high configuration PC, It doesn’t show any effect on speed because if you are a normal user I think only a few times you use your full ram memory but if you are using an old pc with low ram memory(Like 512 MB or IGB) and harddisk & using vista or 7. It speed up your PC and you will see the result, reduced application data loading time, reduced shutdown and restart time and many more you can’t imagine without High ram memory.

How to use this feature

  • Plug in your pendrive
  • Format with NTFS or FAT32
  • Now go to properties
  • Select ReadyBoost
  • Check Use this device
  • Choose maximum space to reserve system speed
  • Click on Apply and OK. 

Your readyboost PenDrive is ready Now to Use.

Here is an personal suggestion HP and Sandisk is the Best for this work so what are you waiting for.

Get Windows 8 Metro Start Menu On Windows 7 Using Newgen

by

Windows 8 Logo

As our readers will know, Windows 8 Developer Preview was released yesterday. This version of Windows 8, as suggested by the name, is meant for developers who wish to develop Windows 8 apps in the future. It is not the complete version of the OS that will be released sometime in 2012.

While we�ve already written an easy to follow guide on how to install Windows 8 in VirtualBox, but there are plenty of people who want to, but would rather not try out an incomplete OS. Such people can get a slice of the Windows 8 action with Newgen: a Metro style launcher for
Windows Vista and Windows 7. Previously however, you could simply use Mosaic or Eight, which were great alternative for Newgen but they weren�t that good in terms of looks back then.
Developed by speaker60 and 1000MrCasper and released on the open source project community CodePlex, Newgen aims to bring the ultra-Metrofied Start menu to current desktop PCs running Windows Vista or 7.
From CodePlex:

Newgen is an application that brings the new Metro UI to your desktop. It is a set of live widgets that shows some content from the web and some from your PC.
Newgen supports WPF, HTML5, and HTML widgets.

Features :

  • Support for HTML widgets
  • Launch your favourite apps and webs in one click
  • Customize as you want
  • Switch to your opened apps, in just few clicks
  • Get Windows 8 Metro UI to your desk
  • Play your videos and music, view your pictures without opening them
  • Get your tweets, mails and weather reports in front of your eye, just sitting
  • Provides easy-to-use API for Widget developers
  • Get updates from us without navigating our site

  

We�ve personally tested the application and can confirm that it mostly works as claimed. It takes some tedious work setting up exactly as you want, but since it is a new app, it is to be expected.
After you�ve got the app installed, you launch it from the Start menu on your PC. On launching, you are treated to a very good-looking Metro style Start menu where you can add tiles, widgets and direct links to websites of your choice. They can be added by calling up the Start Menu (left-click on the right edge of the screen) and then right-clicking, which will show up options for you to add said items.
The transitions and overall UX is similar to what Microsoft offers with Windows 8�s launcher though, obviously, Newgen isn�t as full-featured as the real thing. However, there are plenty of settings you can tinker around with in order to customize your experience.

If you�re interested, you can give Newgen a try by downloading it from the link embedded below.
