So much for "multi-doing".

"There is no little enemy" (Ben Franklin)

OK, that's your prerogative.

Windows will start bitching about 'low on memory': That will happen even when there are still several GB of RAM free. Photoshop, Prime95, and the ArmA game come to mind. There are others.

It's from the milestone 1983 movie 'Wargames'. The supercomputer 'Joshua' utters those lines after a frantic, doomed effort to completely disable W10 spyware.

^ Devastatingly true.

Main point: When Windows (which when tons of free RAM are available shouldn't, but occasionally does anyway) or some stupid program stubbornly insist on using the pagefile, they will do it at RAMming speed, orders of magnitude faster than any SSD or HDD. Thus no stupid unnecessary usage of pagefile will slow the system. Writings are spared to the SSD. Not really critical, but welcomed. Whenever the system is shut down and the ramdisk vanishes, the pagefile is automatically disintegrated. Good for security.

and you want page file... page file was designed for 9x era, when RAM was small and hard drives were bigger thus using virtual storage to ease the system and app "load" with 16 GB RAM and SSD, ... Page File is monstrosity to even speak of there is reason why win7 disables PF on SSD's and also winblows uses it terribly, it doesn't clean it up or defragment it, it leaves trash init which then your magnetic disk grinds to find some s***ty small data, for what ? instead loading it all in RAM ^ This. My 2c: With 16GB of RAM there is no need for a pagefile. But if we disable it, some stupid programs will start bitching about 'no pagefile found'. So with 16GB of RAM I create a variable size 16-1024MB pagefile on a ramdisk to keep the stupid programs happy. No pagefiles on physical drives. (The above works for W7, I don't know and don't care about how W10 manages this stuff).

^ The music in that video sounds like they're saying 'f*** you'. I find this highly congruent with the product.

Sadly only USB 2.0 OEM onboard this aging mobo, otherwise I'd already ghetto-modded some DIY solution . Guess I'll have to either free some PCIe slot or endure the fulgurant USB 2.0 speeds. Anyway thanks for the help gentlemen.

I want to add USB 3.0 front ports and all the PCIe slots in the mobo are already occupied. But there are still a couple SATA connectors free, so I was just wondering.

^ Affirmative.

There are kits for adding USB 3.0 front ports connected to the mobo thru a PCIe card, like this specimen: I wonder if there exists something similar, but connecting instead to a standard SATA-III header on mobo?

So in this brave new retarded world: · Ad-Blocking software is "inmoral". · Stealing all your data r belong to us and trading it around is "perfectly OK and good for you".

It's crystal clear that in this brave new world we dissidents are gonna have to defend our islands tooth and nail from infection. So be it. A warm salute to The Borg.

^ Epic!

^ That has been written on the wall since the first worrying news on Tiles 8 came to light. The currently undergoing sabotage of Windows 7 just confirms it.

Wrong. It's just deferring the most certainly inevitable move to a non-Microsoft OS.

^ That graph is worth a 1K words. Just imagine the adoption rates if Windows 7 would have been given away for free back in '09 ...

Done and, as they say in France, avec plaisir!

^ It paints Smartscreen in red: On W7 systems where Internet Exploder is not used (Pale Moon only, thanks), do you see any problem with disabling Smartscreen? (BTW this Windows Privacy Tweaker little program attempted an outbound connection the first time I run it ... )

^ LOL'd at that . The Lernaean Hydra also suits the role.
