How To Enable Direct Memory Access (DMA)
Jan 2nd
What is the advantage when we enable DMA on our Windows PC?
DMA (also referred to as bus mastering) is a technique that some components and devices use to transfer data directly to and from memory without passing through the Central Processing Unit (CPU). DMA reduces CPU overhead by providing a mechanism for data transfers that do not require monitoring by the CPU. The number associated with DMA indicates the direct memory access channel that the component or device uses to transfer data to and from memory.
Without DMA, the CPU is typically fully occupied for the entire duration of the read or write operation, and is thus unavailable to perform other work.

Indexing Services is just a small program that uses large amounts of memory and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. Why? So that the next time you do a search on your PC, it will search faster by scanning the index lists.

Nov 21st
Do you have files on your PC that you want to split into several parts so you can attach it on your email or save it on your USB? We all know that many email services like Yahoo!
