The problem is still unresolved. Not only is there no Twain driver for Win7/64, it seems that the 9900F scanner is also incompatible with the 64-bit architecture itself. Canon, as described in my first post, refuses to help its customers by providing a Win 7/64 driver.

 

Best,

Proxy Switchy also installed and it seems to be working fine.

 

However, when I try to check on the Tor Project website whether or not I am connected, it says I am not.

 

What the hell?

 

Can anyone help? Maybe through a virtual network? Thanks!

There's no question that the IPS panel is a step up from a TN-type of panel and is definitely worth the money. Its very bright (almost too bright), and the text is sharp with neither the text nor windows backgrounds having any blurriness or graininess to them.

I currently have a Hanns-G HZ201 Monitor (1600x900@60Hz) running off of a Radeon HD 5570 video card that I'd like to upgrade. I tried upgrading the video card and it made things worse, so now its the monitor's turn.

Any suggestions for an inexpensive monitor (sub $140) to get rid of grainy text and window backgrounds would be greatly appreciated.

I have a used Radeon HD 5570 video card with 1 GB Video RAM. My Monitor is a HANNS-G model HZ201 running maxed at 1600x900@60Hz.

The problem: the screen looks "grainy". The solution is what? Video card upgrade? To what? I'm on a very tight, fixed budget.

All help is greatly appreciated.

]]> Tue, 26 Mar 2013 10:21:06 -0700 BearPup on ReadyBoost Testing http://dottech.org/forums/tech-support/readyboost-testing/#p17476 Tech Support http://dottech.org/forums/tech-support/readyboost-testing/#p17476 Thanks for the response. Generally I understand as you do. I added the 32 GB of Flash Drive "RAM" to my desktop before I upgraded it to 8 GB of real RAM. Since I didn't want to waste the existing RAM Chips, the only option was to upgrade it to 8 GB and continue to use the Flash Drive RAM (its a motherboard limitation thing). The 2, 16 GB flash drives were cheaper than the corresponding RAM Chips would have been ($16 vs $60); that's my kind of math!

 

The laptop came with 2, 1 GB RAM Chips, so the only option was to leave it as is and use flash drive "RAM", either that or waste the installed RAM Chips and then spend money on 2, 2GB RAM Chips plus the multitude of hours to get to the primary RAM Chip buried inside the motherboard (not accessible from an exterior port cover).

 

I posted the same question at Gizmos and got a response that led to an article on BleepingComputer.com, which told how to monitor ReadyBoost functionality. So its been a good exercise to follow. And again, thanks for responding.

ReadyBoost is simply adding more RAM to your computer -- your flash drives serve as RAM sticks. So ReadyBoost only helps when your computer is running out of RAM. If you have plenty of RAM, then there is no point in using ReadyBoost. And there is no point in purchasing flash drives just for ReadyBoost -- just buy real RAM instead.Hope that helps.

Good Day People,
I have used ReadyBoost on my Win 7 x64 Home Premium systems for years; I use it on my 8 GB desktop and 2 GB laptop PCs. But I've never had a way to test the effectiveness of using the ReadyBoost technology, and I'm wondering what exists to test this technology.

Basically, I keep 2, 16 GB flash drives plugged into my quad core AMD rig with 8 GB of RAM, and a 4 GB flash drive plugged into my 2GB RAM Core Duo Intel laptop.

In effect, am I wasting my money on flash drives that I could put to better use (like transferring files)? Are these machines "faster" or in some other empirical way "better" than machines without these ReadyBoost devices?

Any suggestions for testing, or an article on the effectiveness of ReadyBoost, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
BearPup
