• 8GB DDR3 RAM

 by Stanley, January 25, 2012

Last week I bought 2 sticks of 8GB DDR3 RAM for my desktop PC. Before this, all I had was 2GB which is the bare minimum these days. After a few hours of browsing, I’ll be close to the limit and I could sense the OS thrashing my HDD’s pagefile. My system slows down considerably when my RAM limit is hit.

RAM prices are very cheap nowadays. So most people who are buying a new PC wouldn’t think twice of putting 8GB RAM into their CPUs.

My system feels a lot smoother and slightly faster with 8GB. Especially with multiple programs running at the same time. Switching back and forth with no lag. I could browse for days without closing the browser and have tons of memory left. My computer feels good again, I should have bought them earlier.

• Thinking about getting a ceramic knife

 December 30, 2011
I’ve read much about Kyocera ceramic knives. Nearly all feedback and reviews are compliments to how bloody sharp the knife is. Ceramic knives are not only sharp, they retain their sharpness many times longer than any other materials. It is deceptively light as many reviewers said they were surprised by it’s lack of weight. It [...]

My daughter will be going back to school in a week’s time. She’ll be in 5 year old class, her second year in pre-school. I am not looking forward for school to start. Coz schooling time means the cold and flu bugs will come knocking very often again. When my daughter gets the bug, everyone at [...]
