Using Two Monitors to Increase Your Productivity 
- You can have more than one window open full sized at the same time because you have double the amount of desktop space to spread things out. This makes previewing a document and editing the document a snap.
- Imagine being able to edit photos by having one monitor displaying the "before" and the other monitor displaying the "after" version.
- You can multi-task by monitoring your email and surfing the web at the same time.
What hardware do you need besides an additional monitor? You'll need a video card that can send your display to two monitors.
- If you have a laptop, does your laptop have an additional video monitor connection? Consult your users' manual. If it doesn't, you cannot display to more than one monitor.
- If you have a desktop, trace where your current monitor plugs into your computer. Is there an additional connection? Usually, if your video card supports displaying to more than one monitor, there will be the familiar VGA plug and a DVI plug. Most older monitors used a VGA plug. If the second monitor you want to connect has a VGA plug, you can buy an adapter to convert the VGA plug into a DVI allowing you to use both video monitor connections.
- If you only have one VGA connection on your video card, you can buy another video card for about $50 that will have both connections on it.

Ensuring Your Low Cost Computer Will Perform
Computer memory (or RAM) is a key component of ensuring your computer can perform efficiently.
Everyone wants a good deal on a new computer and one way to reduce the cost of a computer is by limiting how much memory comes with it out of the box, as well as how much memory can be added later. But... buying a system with limited memory capacity is no bargain!
Before making a purchase, make sure the computer you have in mind has the following minimum memory or can be upgraded later:
Windows XP- at least 1 megabyte (more is better)
Vista - 2 megabytes (4 megabytes is better)
Windows 7 - 2 megabytes (4 megabytes is better)
To determine how much memory can be added to your computer, go to: www.kingston.com and enter the vendor and model number into the memory search screen on the right.

Upgrading to New Blackberry OS v6.0?
Verizon finally released v6.0 of the Blackberry Operating System to some of their "newer" older Blackberry SmartPhones. What do you need to know before your upgrade? - Make sure your Blackberry is backed up. Use Blackberry Desktop Manager to do this.
- Make sure your cellphone is sync'ing your contacts, memos and tasks successfully.
- Make sure you have a backup of your SD media card. Use Blackberry Desktop Manager or copy the contents of the card to your computer when your Blackberry is connected to your computer. The SD card should be displayed as a removable media drive in Windows Explorer.
- Document all the applications you have downloaded from the web. This list must be detailed enough for you to re-download these applications. If you used Blackberry App World to download and install your apps, this application will be all you need to re-install your applications.
When you connect your Blackberry to your computer and the Blackberry Desktop Manager starts, the Desktop Manager should detect that a new upgrade is available for your phone. Follow the steps and in approximately an hour and a half your Blackberry will be running the newest release of the Blackberry Operating System.
All applications you downloaded from the Internet will need to be re-installed. If you installed them via Blackberry App World, open the application and re-install all the applications listed.
