If you have a computer and want to get better graphics, you can update your PC’s graphics card. Most people don’t know how to do this, or that it can even be done.

First, you need to check the graphics card driver on your PC, which can be done very easily. Go to the Control Panel’s Device Manager (Start menu - Control panel - System - Hardware tab) that is available on all Microsoft computers. Then go to the display adapter. There, you will see which video card you are using.

“Cookies?” you ask. “Are you saying that you’re getting rid of all the delicious cookies?”
“No, I’m saying that I’m going to delete the cookies from my computer!” your friend says impatiently.

Many often think of computer cookies as the type of cookies that you snack on once you get home. Of course, most people do not know what computer cookies actually are, as they have never been exposed to high-tech terminology as much as others have.

Now that high capacity memory sticks are getting cheaper and people use it for all kind of apparels like digicams, phones or even ebook readers, they often find that these higher capacity (more than 4GB) memorysticks seems slower than the lower capacity ones (up to 2GB).

This is because the higher capacities memorysticks are formatted in FAT32  by default. Although this format is better than the old FAT16 in the sense of disk slack and filesize limits, it’s slower for read and writes. Especially for the gadgets with lower processingpower than a PC.

If you’re experiencing this problem, you might want to format the stick to FAT16. This will speed up the read and write process tremendously.

If you’re using XP, just open command prompt (XP-explorer won’t allow you to format to FAT16 on higher capacity cards) and type in:

format z: /q /FS:FAT /x

Where z is your memorystick driveletter.

You will be asked some confirmation questions. Answer as appropriate and try it out.
