My computer has 512MB of RAM, I increased the PF Usage and set to 4096 MB. Since PF usea portion of the actual harddrive for this I set it to be used on my external hard drive. I noticed a considerable increase in preformance. Will this little tweak have any adverse effects on my PC?

I walked away from my laptop for about 2 minutes and when I got back, my 3 year old has somehow managed to make my screen appear sideway (ex. what should be the left side of the screen is now the bottom.) It isnt just the toolbar she moved, it's the WHOLE screen. pLEASE HELP! I can't really see what I am typing so I hope this all sounds understandable

I've been talking to my friends and looking up the internet for the past days, because I've heard that there's such thing as an external video card. In any case, does anybody know anything about this stuff, like are there really such video cards? If anybody has some links, please post them, it would be helpful. Thanks.

P.S. Does anybody know where to buy them?
