You might have low RAM capacity or sometimes you cannot afford for money to upgrade your RAM. So there is a way for this problem. Just using a USB drive or Pen drive you can improve the RAM capacity of your PC.

eBoostr speeds up your PC and improves application responsiveness by using flash memory and free RAM as an extra layer of performance-boosting cache for your PC. Use up to four inexpensive flash devices to speed up your system. Add more speed to your PC without any hardware upgrade

You can simply download the demo version of eBoostr from http://www.eboostr.com/ and if you like it, you can spend some money to get full version.

Firefox Tweak-Enable Spell Checking In All Text Fields

Dhanabalan — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 10:39:57 +0000

Firefox by default performs spell checking as you type for text areas, but not single line text input fields, so this little tweak will allow you to change that

First navigate to about:config

Then type as layout.spell into the filter box

Double-click the field layout.spellcheck.Default and change the value from 1 to 2

That’s it, you are done.
