USEN BROAD-GATE FAIL

mad shit crazyLast weekend I was summoned to my parents place to fix internet connection issue.

I’ve checked the PC, router and VDSL modem and everything seems to be fully fuctional but for some reason it wasn’t getting any response from WAN.

So at 10:00am I’ve called Usen’s customer support first thing in the morning, hoping to get it fixed.

Using over 4G memory in Windows XP

memoryEver since I built this computer I threw in 4gigs of memory not knowing Windows XP x86 are only capable of handling 3.2GB of memory. So those left over memory has been sitting there unused.

I was looking for a way to use it and found this using google. ?I can’t read chinese so here is the Japanese translation.

Basically this driver will turn additional memory space into a ram-drive.

Its a ram drive so it can only store ?datas?temporarily?but very useful for photoshop and illustrator caches. ?So throwing extra on-board memory can be useful. ?Since any kind of driver has a compatibility issue, make sure to check out the user reports.

CS4 GPU acceleration

Gathering some information about CS4.? So Premier Pro CS4 supports Nvidia’s GPU acceleration.? What about ATI!?? Seems ATI is not in the game sigh.

The encode process using the Elemental RapiHD encoder on the NVIDIA Quadro CX took just under four minutes to complete while using the CPU-based Adobe encoder the process took nearly eight full minutes.? The GPU-accelerated encoder has essentially cut the rendering time in half.

Just for a reference, with my PC (Core 2 Duo E6600) its gonna take 5,6 hours to render 2hours of HD video.? But since my PS3 is sitting here not being played for months, maybe I’ll use CodecSys CE-10 to do the job.
