03 Dec 09 How to Know That You Need More RAM
The price of RAM has significantly gone down, which makes many people go for more RAM in their system. Moreover, they do it even without thinking if they actually need more RAM in their system. The truth is not many of us know how much RAM they need, therefore, I thought of writing this brief guide to tell you how much RAM do you need in your system.
What will happen if I upgrade RAM?
Well, if you are hoping to change your world by increasing the amount of RAM your system has then I am sorry to break the bad news, it is not going to happen. No matter how much RAM you put in ( I am talking here in GBs, may be more than 4), your application will be only so much faster.
- More RAM helps in multi-tasking, particularly if you are using memory-hogs like Photoshop, Outlook, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Aftereffect, 3D Max, or Firefox with too many tabs.
- If you have more memory, you can more swiftly switch open the open applications without sacrificing the speed.
- Increasing RAM will not make any “one application” faster; rather it will help you do more things at once. You can have more memory-hogging application open at one time, if you get 8GB of RAM instead of 4GB.
- More RAM will affect the performance of image editing software, video editing and special effect software, virtual machine, etc.
How much RAM do you need?
This depends upon your PC usage pattern. If you barely use your PC, or open just one application at one time, and you are running 32-bit Windows 7 then 2GB RAM will do, and if you are still running Windows XP then for you 1GB is sufficient (please no question on Vista, I hate that bugger). But, if you are a power user, and run many applications simultaneously, and keep 70-80 tabs open across your browsers (for me it runs sometimes in 100 across all 5 browsers that I keep open all time, and yes it does not include Internet explorer) then you will need 3 to 4GB of RAM.
I recommend having 3GB at least for average user and 6GB for power users if you are using 64-bit operating system (OS). In case, you are using 32-bit version of Windows (XP, 7 or even vista) then do not bother having more than 4GB RAM, your OS will not recognize it.

15 Sep 09 Office 2007 tabs: Are you Tabby Enough?
Tabs in office 2007, have I gone nuts? You will not believe anything on the contrary until you see the picture below.
Yes, I am talking about tabbed workspace in Microsoft Office 2007, and I am not crazy that got proved by the above image, and if you still think it is some kind of a trick then download OfficeTab on your windows system and see how nutty this plug-in makes you, your Word 2007, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007.
Well, I am not suggesting that everyone who will see this plug-in is going to jump off his “windows” to grab this plug-in, but most of us will do so. People who are not excited about this plug-in are those who compares two or more documents by cascading or tiling the word files. I believe they can still do it by turning this damn thing off. This is not a big deal.
I must add here, in my test, I could successfully cascade my tabbed windows with this plug-in on. I tiled three documents both horizontally and vertically, and for a problem, I faced none.
OfficeTab is highly customizable plug-in. you have an option to choose from 12 different styles of tabs. Not only that, you can edit the tabs to make it look more personal. Even the location of tabs could be changed. You can use control and tab (Ctrl+Tab) to toggle between different documents.
Supported Language: English and Chinese, Chinese because the plug-in has been developed by a Chinese developer. Hey, did I forget to say that OfficeTab is free.
I find this plug-in cool. What about you? I am dying to hear your point of view on this tool use it and let me know what you think.
