Isn't new iPad = iPad "3"??? I'm confused. :s22:

In term of numerical order, as we know, should be ipad3. However, that isn't the name. So by screen resolution, it should be known as ipad hd since if its not called ipad 3... people get confused.

**** it. Its called "the new ipad" officially as of now.

I just did all the windows update available then more than 40GB liao. Plus all the drivers now left 9GB nia. :s22::s22:

Omg! Didnt know that Crucial is $138. I bought this Plextor at $139! But I guess its ok, since both using marvell controllers.

What is pagefile and how to off it? Can teach? Any adverse effects? :):)

**Update, just off pagefile at the control panel but SSD still left 9GB.

***Update, after I did a restart then SSD show 25GB. Works like a charm!! Btw, what will happen once I disable pagefile?

Sometimes program can crash in absence of paging file (especially when program is programmed to use them). No wonder paging file will take up so much space (just look at your RAM) on your PC. You should create paging file on another HDD (preferably small size since RAM capacity is huge) to attain issue-free.

manually select and choose what to dl/install for windows update. Basically can dun install those different languages,they take put a lot space and chances of using them is close to zero. Jus dl the language you speak. Anyway google chrome can auto translate also,nt sure other browsers

Bro... What you planning to store after finishing window in ur drive? Cos from ur specs I see you do have 2 TB worth of HDD for storage too...


If u are using ur SSD as a OS drive, it should suffice what.

Pagefile preforms like a cache when you dont have enough ram. But tbh. You already have 16GB. Its isnt needed already. I turn mine off on my ssd and placed a 1GB cache just in case I really require more memory. Anyway, There are no problems when you turn off pagefiles. Unless you can find a way to use up all of your rams.
