Memory Upgrades: An Inexpensive Way To Boost Computer Performance
Many people buy a computer with only the minimum amount of memory (RAM) installed.
The reasons for this vary, but usually computers with the minimum amount of RAM are
cheaper than the others, so appear to be a bargain.
Other folks have older computers that might have had a reasonable amount of memory
installed at the time of purchase, but struggle to keep up with the memory requirements of
modern applications. Installing additional memory is a relatively inexpensive way to boost
performance in old and new computers alike.
If your computer is 2-3 years old and it is running somewhat slow, then it's worth
considering purchasing a memory upgrade before lashing out on a new computer. The
majority of people that I talk to about computer memory upgrades (especially those with a
computer over 2 years old) are surprised at the increase in overall performance after
installing a memory upgrade. Typically it can extend the useable life of the average
computer by another 2-3 years, at a mere fraction of the cost of buying a new one.
Installing a memory upgrade is usually a simple process, requiring at most a phillips
screwdriver to either undo the memory hatch on your notebook, or to remove the case if you
have a desktop pc. Once you have access to the memory slots, it's just a simple matter of
pushing the memory module into the spare slot firmly, closing the hatch or putting the case
back on, putting the screw back in, and rebooting the computer.
It can be a more complicated exercise if your memory slots are fully populated, but a
competent memory supplier should be able to provide you with advice on the upgrade
options available and whether or not you will need to remove one or more of the existing
modules to make room for larger ones.
The question a lot of people ask me when considering buying a memory upgrade is "What
size memory upgrade should I buy?"
I usually answer this with a question: "Tell me about the sort of things you use your
computer for?"
Generally speaking I recommend you install 512mb if you are running Windows XP on your
computer. Microsoft say that the minimum is far less, but it really is the minimum in my
opinion. 512Mb of installed memory will give you enough room for Windows XP to load, and
a little spare for a couple of web browser windows, an email client, antivirus application, and
a spreadsheet or word processor.
If you run OSX or a flavour of Linux, I still recommend 512mb as a minimum.
If you only have the generally accepted minimum of 256mb, this is barely enough to load
2. Windows XP. As you start up other applications, your pc will begin to allocate "virtual"
memory. This means that a section of your computers hard drive is used for moving around
data in the same way that physical memory is used, only it goes a lot slower.
If you do photo editing in addition to the basics, think about going up to 1GB of installed
memory. If you are a home video buff or play a lot of computer games, then 2GB is really
going to keep you productive. (Is gaming productive?).
Memory upgrades are available from many different sources, and made by a lot of different
manufacturers. Kingston are probably the best known manufacturer, and they make
modules for most of the top OEM's, who rebrand Kingston memory as their own.
Before purchasing an RAM upgrade, be sure to ask if the memory is guaranteed to be
compatible with your PC or laptop, and is backed by a no-quibble return policy. Always
make sure a lifetime warranty applies as well.
So if you or your kids are complaining about their latest computer game running too slow,
consider that you might not need to buy a new computer even if it is a couple of years old,
but simply upgrade the one you have with some more memory. It can make a world of
difference, and make your computing investment last a lot longer.

Metal Detectors Are Used For So Many Purposes
The main part of metal detectors is the control box, shaft, and search coil. Control box
which has speaker, batteries, and microprocessor coordinates all activities. To protect the
food source many companies use metal detectors to check for metal contaminates in the
food, and some drug companies use the metal detectors to check for the same thing in
drugs.
Besides metal detection, a walk-through metal detector includes and interface for an
operator and a control unit plus environmental tolerance, electro magnetic compatibility, and
the assurance of quality control. The control box is the brain of a metal detector. The
3. magnetized metallic objects under the ground send a signal to the control box. Metal
detectors that are used in mining need to be compact because of the space restrictions so
the control unit and the search coil are integrated into a single unit.
This disk comes off the shaft at an angle, which allows it to be held parallel to the ground.
Hand held detectors come in various types, professional, commercial, all-purpose, gold
metal, beach and metal that is a relic. Many people use metal detectors to comb the beach
for treasures, people are looking for coins, or any other type of metals that might produce a
wealth of income. If you are walking along a beach you might come across many people
with their instruments looking for these treasures. Since 911 security has gotten tougher
and many airports and schools have turned to metal detectors, as well and government
buildings, hand held metal detectors are often an important part of security procedures.
A great method of locating and preventing the use of dangerous items such as handguns or
knives is the hand held metal detector. They are hand held security metal detectors and
walk through metal detectors. Walk over or hand held models of metal detectors are
normally used in airports.
Best rated walk through metal detectors have high target selection, low rate of false alarm,
consistent detection, and a two way directional system. Cheap metal detectors are available
in hand held, waterproof, and walk through models. Walk through metal detectors offer
quick and effective processing.
Underwater metal detectors can cost around $400-$600. Underwater metal detectors are
widely used to locate metallic objects under water. Underwater construction companies use
underwater metal detectors for pipeline or cable locating functions. Some of the underwater
metal detectors can adjust the search depth.
Advanced security metal detectors use low radiation x-rays for screening. Many metal
detectors have microprocessor technology to check for coarse grained food in cornflakes,
popcorn and noodles. Advanced gold detectors can also resist dust and moisture. Some of
the advanced gold metal detectors have three modes for speed tracking.
Usually, the price of a metal detector starts from $65. Some sites offer price discounts.
Most sites provide a price list for metal detectors. The price of metal detectors may vary,
based on features and functions. If you are just starting out it is a good idea to purchase an
inexpensive model before sinking the dollars into the hobby.
