Enable Visual Studio to use more than 2GB of memory

Very useful when you have more memory: http://mkwec.de/2010/01/08/make-visual-studio-use-more-than-2-gig-of-memory/ "Using Visual Studio can be quite frustrating: even having a big quad processor 8 gig SSD raid machine it will still complain not being able to complete an operation because there is not enough “storage” available. Ever seen this “Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.”-Message in large solutions with many projects? Actually this “storage” means memory and you can use the following steps to provide more memory to visual studio: Windows XP users only:  add the /3GB switch to your boot.ini (make sure you backup your old boot.ini before) Windows Vista users only: from the Visual Studio command prompt run: BCEDIT /Set IncreaseUserVa 3072 Apply large address awareness to visual studio by running: editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE devenv.exe in your <path-to-VS>/Common7/IDE (make sure you backup your old devenv.exe) Reboot Now Visual Stu...

What is interesting is that I have an old HP ML115 server in the basement which was also showing the speed of the Intel SSD as 1.5 gb/s whereas another SSD from PNY was able to do 3 gb/s which is what the motherboard actually supports. Guess what? That server motherboard also uses an nvidia chipset. I spent the whole day tinkering with the server trying to figure out why my expensive Intel SSD is giving me 1.5 gb/s while the cheap PNY was giving me 3 gb/s. No matter what I did, it did not work - including connecting the Intel SSD to a RAID controller card and using it without RAID. Some people have given the workaround to connect the hard drive to the CD drive connector which uses the Intel chip and not nvidia one. What I did is to put the PNY SSD from my server in the macbook. It consistently gave 3 gb/s ...

Firefox and Chrome dark mode

To increase the font size within, just press Ctrl and "+" button. The Ctrl method increases the font size in Chrome as well. If you want to get a dark mode chrome,  click on the ...
