One minute… 5 minutes… 10 minutes… 15 minutes… 20 minutes… Hey! What is going on here? Why is my computer taking such a long time to process my graphical file? Does Photoshop program always take so long to process a simple file? Something is definitely not right here. I think I should troubleshoot this problem once and for all to get my programs running smoothly.
Bingo! I think I have found the faults behind the laggings of my computer. I barely have 2GB of hard disc space left in my computer system and I am processing a file as heavy as 100MB. I was so foolish not to have realized the limited working space I have left. Moreover, I should have upgraded my computer memory long time ago. 512MB of RAM was just not good enough if I were to process graphical files or even playing with some online games.
I do not know why it took me so long to find out that adding more RAM will ease my lagging problems. Now I know why. My graphic software required a place to do a lot of calculations and my computer memory was not enough to support that. Eventually my computer decided to switch to using virtual memory from my hard disc and my hard disc space was barely enough for it to process any faster. Moreover, a RAM can transfer as fast as a few gigabytes per second of data whereas the virtual memory can handle only a few megabytes per second of data. Now you know the reasons why my computer lagged so badly. Don’t learn the hard way as I did. Get your computer memory upgraded soonest possible.

I am sure many people have weight gain problems at any one time in their life. What about getting rid of acnes and wrinkles? I am sure many have these problems as well. Have you heard about the all natural Lipovox pills which have been around for many years? Marketed as a “life pill”, Lipovox is widely used as a general supplement for energy, health and wellness. Not only will the pills focus on your weigh burning process, these pills will also give you much healthier skin complexion.
I have been hunting for diet pills for some time now and found Lipovox to be the ideal superfood for me. The pills which consist of 14 great ingredients such as Acai, Alfalfa, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Barley Juice, Buckwheat, Cayenne, DMAE, Flaxseed, Garlic, Green Tea, Lactobacillus Acidophillus, Salmon, Soy and Wheatgrass really impressed me. All these wonderful ingredients have their own individual ways to make the body healthier.
I have known some who had experienced some amazing results by using Lipovox. Their waistline reduced remarkably and the acne completely disappeared. If this product can help so many, why don’t you try it out yourself? The product is safe as it is not loaded with harmful stimulants.

video card
I have been having numerous problems with my video card recently. Without any alert, my computer would just reboot itself without allowing me to save whatever I was working on. The worst scenario was when I was in the height of playing some exciting online games. That really got me real crossed as I was not able to save the stage I was in when this happened.
In the end, I was forced to fall back to my built-in video card which was not giving me the clarity and performance as I wanted. I was contemplating to replace my video card with the same model and make. Somehow as I was checking through the wide range of video cards being displayed in the shop, something caught my eyes. It was something that is red and black and with an impressive and sophisticated outlook. That was when I fell in love with the new VisionTek Radeon HD 4870 video card.
The ATI Radeon HD 4870 Series GPUs claimed to deliver a cinematic gaming experience with unprecedented performance and it definitely promised what it claimed. On top of the overwhelming performance I had, I was able to watch Blu-ray movies and play HD content with incredible visual fidelity. Wow! Playing my usual game had never been that smooth before until I had purchased the Radeon HD 4870 Series. I had amazing new experiences with my new video card. Why don’t you get one and try it out yourself? I can assure you that you would not regret buying one.

The weather has been humid over here with a 74% humidity and barely 1mph of wind. How could I have withstood such a high temperature in this country? Everyone has been cursing and rinsing off their nonstop flow of sweat from the forehead. The traffic jams over has not been any better too.
I think it is time to check the air conditioning system for my car. Even tuned to full blast, I am still sweating. Something is surely not right about the cooling system. I will need to get one that can control the filtration, air movement, temperature and humidity in my car and not one that ended up like a heater.
I have a problem here as I know nuts about the car’s air conditioning system. What could be wrong? There are just so many parts ranging from the a/c compressor, a/c receiver drier, a/c expansion device, a/c condenser and so on for me to identify. Hmm… who is the a/c compressor expert here? I have a feeling that this part might be the culprit.

I could still remember vividly that night when it happened. I was on a bike and had a collision with a dog on the road. The dog appeared be unharmed and ran away but I ended up be flung onto the road with bruises and swell on my right hand and right ankle. There was not much blood as I was wearing a long sleeves jacket and jeans on that night. Luckily I was not speeding and there were no oncoming cars or else I would be in heaven by now.
I was still able to walk although the weight of my big bike was right on top of my right ankle, and visited the nearest clinic. My face was all green from the mild shock I had when the doctor checked on my wounds. Bodily aches and pain crept in not long after that and the doctor prescribed Nurofen 400 to me as well as some Acriflavine to apply on the wound.
Everything was fine until I took the medication provided by the doctor. I thought being a bit drowsy was fine but it got worst. The world was twirling and swirling right in front of my eyes. My eyes became watery and itchy and my face was swollen. I tried to get up many times but was pinned down by the heaviness I felt on the head. It was like a living hell as I had to suffer for a whole day before the side effect went off.
I was again lucky to be alive. I found out through another doctor friend of mine that I had experienced an allergy reaction to NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and the culprit is ibuprofen which was in the Nurofen tablets that I had consumed. Can you imagine the danger of not knowing what was in the medicine when you are staying alone? From then onwards, I studied and worked closely with an allergist on the drugs that I am sensitive to and got the list engraved on a medical bracelet. I might have escaped death this time but I might not be so lucky the next time.
If you have history of severe reactions because of drug allergy or aspirin sensitivity, it is advisable that you wear one of the assortments of medical id bracelets easily available in the market. This is to ensure that in cases of emergencies, the attending personnel will be alerted on the medications that you are allergic to.
