ahmufcwafc Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm not sure if buying a USB drive would speed up your PC, try upgrading your RAM if you don't have much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terras-FM Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 You probobley cant watch 3D because of your Graphics Crad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaaN10 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 USB's don't make a difference to your Computers memory. Purchase more RAM, pretty cheap these days. If 3D crashes for you, you may need another GFX card. Make sure your motherboard supports it. You might find buying a new PC is the best option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ask somebody like The Tech Guys in PC World? They might need to see your PC to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Neal Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Actually, Vista can make use of USB memory and add it to the RAM, so a USB stick can make a difference to a Vista computer's speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irchard Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Vista can use the memory on a USB stick as RAM? I know this is venturing slightly off topic but can someone point me to where I can find out more about this?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That's right - Vista has the 'Readyboost' option. From the reports I've read though it seems to make naff all difference - a gimmick. Better off buying more RAM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsie Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 meh, walk into your nearest computer shop and you can get an extra 500 MB of RAM for around £20 ish, wont be much more than that. That will double your ram and you do want 1GB of RAM minimum really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
