Is there such a thing as a “memory overload” in PCs?

If my own memory serves me right, I think I’ve already mentioned around four to five times that the best upgrade that your PC could ever get is by adding a few RAM modules in it. It’s definitely better than changing your unit’s graphics card or even processor.

This doesn’t mean that you should drain all your coffers for RAMs that rival your hard drive in terms of size. Too much of anything is not good, and this holds true with PC upgrades. Your unit’s motherboard may be able to handle 40GB of memory, but your OS may not.

The 32-bit editions of Windows XP and Vista cannot hold or use memory in excess of 4GB. It would be a waste if you’ll insist on attaching extra RAM modules on your unit if it’s running under Microsoft operating systems that are built on a 32-bit architecture. Unless your PC is running on a 64-bit version of XP or Vista, don’t increase your computer’s cranial capacity to more than 4GB.

Amazon wanted to keep the news on release of the new Creative Vado HD pocket camcorder early on December a secret, but fortunately, product pictures and specifications were leaked to the internet.

The new pocket camcorder sports most of the same specifications its predecessor has. It measures 2-inches but now a bit thicker at 3.3 x 7.9 x 6.3-inch dimension.

It has 8GB memory that is equivalent to up to 2 hours of MPEG-4 recordings at 720p resolution. Video length can be extended to 8 hours if you chose VGA quality. There is also an HDMI cable for instant playback. You just need to connect it to a standard video device and voila, you can have an instant video feed.

The pocket camcorder works n PCs running on Windows XP and Windows Vista. It has USB 2.0 that allows fast video transfer. The video recorded is Youtube ready and while at it, you can edit the video with Vado Central Software that comes in free with purchase of the device.

Creative’s Vado HD Pocket Camcorder is currently tagged at $200.
