This test allows you to completely test your video RAM (accessible to DirectX). The best way to check stability after overclocking. The archive contains a README file, which must by read before use of program. DirectX 7.0 or better must be installed (DirectX 9 is recommended). Before testing, all graphical applications (editors, viewers, players, games etc.) must be closed. Monitor standby function must be deactivated. Before the program starts testing, it prompts for changing video mode to 640x480x16 (to be able to capture more video RAM), and it is recommended to agree.

Question: How Can I Make Firefox Load Faster?

Answer: You can slash Firefox's slow load time by compressing the DLLs and executables. There are many choices for compression but I suggest you use UPX which is free, efficient and time proven.

1. Download UPX from http://upx.sourceforge.net/#download

2. Unzip upx.exe into your Firefox installation folder which is normally C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.

3. Make sure Firefox is not running then shell to a command prompt in the Firefox installation directory.

4. Type in the following command in a single line and hit return:

for %v in (*.exe *.dll components\*.dll plugins\*.dll) do upx "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\%v"

5. If on some later occasion you want to unpack the files, just type in the command above but add the decompression switch "-d" after "do upx."

That's it; enjoy the difference!
