REMOVE IDENTICAL FILES ON YOUR PC

Remove duplicate files from multiple folders or from the other side of the partition.

There's a good chance that you have more than one copy of many files on your hard drive. And unless you intend the duplication, you're wasting space. DoubleKiller is a free program that can deal with this problem, searching for and alerting you to any files that are in more then one location.

The program doesn't just look at filenames; it compares the filename, size and does a quick scan of the files to find the real duplicates. And once you've found them, you can either delete the files or move them to another location, freeing up the space with a couple of mouse clicks.

However, be careful: on a typical system, this program will find hundreds of duplicates, but that doesn't mean that you should delete all of them: some are useful (such as programs that install files into the Windows directory, but keep a copy in their own directory as well). So, only remove the duplicates you are sure that you don't need. If you want this software click HERE

HOW TO GET A FREE 2GB ONLINE FILE SERVER

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to get or transfer big files all of a sudden, and all you have access to is someone's else's computer? If you have, you know that you need to get yourself an online file server.
MAC users with Apples dotMac accounts have access to a 250 MB personal online file server, but its part of the service available to those who pony up for the $99 account. There is a way to get around it though, and even if it has a limitations (like 10MB max file size and a file limit of 40 characters), the niggles are negligible because the hack is free.
The key is a piece of software called Gmail Drive, which creates a virtual system based on Gmail account, and acts like a mounted drive where you can drag and drop files while online as if it were a real hard disk. It sends the files you drag into it as incoming email with file attachments, to which you have access to. It works on Windows only, though

Here's how:
Get yourself a Gmail account
Download the Gmail Drive Shell Extension at www.vidsoe.dk/code/gmail.htm
Install it by running Setup

If all works well, you now have a 2GB online personal file server for free! Take note that the hack depends entirely on gmail, if google decides to modify their system, the hack could stop working. Remember also that this is just a convenience hack. If you don't want to bother with this root, just email the files to yourself on gmail, and then retrieve them the usual way, from any browser anywhere. There you go.

MEMORY AND APPLICATIONS

Just like storage, memory is often one of the major components overlooked in a computer - due to higher costs - most especially in notebooks. When can users say they are comfortable with how fast and smooth their computers run considering the amount of memory they're installed with? The answer will depend on the type of workload users demands from their notebooks. Generally, the more the memory, the better - and it has never hurt anyone, except when it comes to expenditures and the accounting books. The more memory a notebook is installed with, the faster and smoother more complex applications can run, and more documents can be loaded all in a single time. A fast processor will need an ample amount of memory in order for users to realize the full benefits of it. If a notebook has only an adequate amount of memory, the operating system is forced to rely on something called virtual memory where it will treat a portion of the much slower hard disk as part of the system memory. The operating system will swap required data back and forth between the hard disk and the memory, leading to slowdown in processing time. What may take one minute to accomplish may in fact, take somewhere from five to twenty minutes depending on the nature of the program.
For common office-related tasks, meeting today's basic requirement of having 512MB of memory will be adequate to have a smooth-running system while multitasking. For users with more demanding tasks like graphic and audio-video related work, they will need 1GB or more of memory in order to work efficiently.
Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows Vista, is one that has tremendously high requirements that demand at least 1GB of system memory just for the operating system. Vista will run with a lower amount of memory, but given that organizations will need to run other applications than just this, this is obviously not enough and a scenario where to much time will be wasted waiting will be encountered by users of under-spec'd notebooks. If Vista is planned to be implemented in every system used by an organization, it is recommended that notebooks be equipped with more than 1GB of system memory (perhaps 2GB) in order for users to fully appreciate the new capabilities of the operating system.

GRAPHIC POWER

The majority of notebook today are powered by the leading graphics chipset maker in the world - and that's Intel. This comes in the form of their integrated graphics accelerator, notably the GMA chipset. Such an integrated graphic solution means that basic 2D and 3D graphics requirements are met. This also means that since the graphic chipset is not meant for more demanding use, notebooks can benefit from their energy-saving design - but this will depend on the design and implementation of the graphics chipset. Notebooks with such graphic subsystems can perform adequately in the office as they are capable of rendering videos for presentations, delivering the necessary graphics output to a projector or larger display, and their 2D and 3D rendering capabilities for presentation effect is adequate.

If users need more from the graphic subsystem, they can also look to other key players in the 3D arena. ATI and NVIDIA are among the prominent ones in this field, providing GPUs designed for the mobile workhorse. These are designed to be energy-efficient, yet packing enough punch to give notebook an extra boost in power with respect to graphics solutions. If high definition content is necessary to impress in presentations, then a notebook with a GPU capable of taking the load off the CPU when it comes to rendering content is most desirable.
Notebooks with mobile workstation GPUs are necessary in special scenarios in which users rely on 3D graphics for their work. These include work related to CAD and CAM, engineering and designing, and 3D graphics and animation.
