India’s Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal recently revealed the prototype of a $35 touchscreen tablet device, which is claim to be world’s cheapest computer PC.

Apart from this, $35 computer has capability to run all essential software such as PDF reader, multimedia player and content viewer, video conferencing, Web browser, and word processor through Open Office.

The $35 tablet prototype from India, which was developed by research teams at IIT and the Indian Institute of Science, is expected to go into production by 2011.

HOW TO SPEED UP YOUR PC

My guide to running a fast PC
For those of you who cannot afford the luxuries of high ram, large hard drives, and enough graphics , you will find refuge here.

I have experience in every windows OS from XP on to seven, and so far according to my research these tips work on all of them. However, for the sake of starting arguments, I run windows XP

Now, you may have a windows machine and wonder how you can make it faster without going buy ram, because lets face it, not everyone can afford it. Well, welcome to my guide. Just follow these steps closely, and you will notice a difference

Tip #1: Maintaining your start-up items

You may not think about it often, but in reality your start-up items play a large roll in both your boot times, and your system's overall performance. I know, a lot of you probably do not pay it any mind, if its not broke don't fix it right? Well, not really. If your like me, and like to keep a computer running, you learn to look behind the scenes. Note: be careful, disabling the wrong items can cause problems, if your not sure what something does, just leave it alone.

You can view your start-up items by going to run and typing in msconfig. When msconfig comes up, go to your start-up tab, and disable things that aren't needed. Also when your dealing with programs like utorrent that tend to start with windows, virutally every program has an option to disable this. Utilize it. You can have a program without it running all the time. Besides, who uses a program 24-7? (never mind do not answer that..........)

Tip #2: choosing an OS that fits your hardware

Sure, everyone loves windows 7, very few like vista Well, your hardware plays a huge factor, allow me to elaborate.

Minimum Specs for windows OS

Windows XP: 512MB of Ram or more
Windows Vista: 1-2GB of Ram
Windows 7: 1-2GB of ram

To give you an example, I run on 1GB of ram, and i love speed so i went for XP. When choosing your OS you want to make sure your ram can handle it. if you run an operating system with specs under whats required, it will be very slow and may even crash, so try not to do this

Tip #3 FOR better performance try keeping less icons on your desktop so that it will speed also
also go in run => type 'msconfig'=>then go in services tab and disable that program which is not in use so that u get a good startup

Tip #4 Adjusting system settings for better performance

As you guys know there are certian aspects to your windows that makes it visually appealing. These aspects range from visual styles, to cursor shadows and drop down menus. To change your settings for best performance, or to customize your settings to better suit you, go to start, right click my computer, properties, advanced, and then click settings under the performance tab.

There are more, but how about getting your hands dirty? Thats right guys, its time for some tweeking.

For a baster boot-up, go to run, type regedit. go to HKEY_Local_Machine, system, current control set, control, then content index. Then, scroll until you find an item called startup delay. by default your setting will probably be 480000, changing it to 40000 will do the trick. just make sure you dont try any other number, because this could cause problems if not done correctly.

BEST PLAYER FOR WINDOWS XP , VISTA , 7 (VLC MEDIA PLAYER VS GOM PLAYER)

SO LETS ,
Discusss about the two best player those are GOM and VLC

so lets start with VLC
screenshot for vlc

it is one of the demanded player to play mostly the .avi(ie divx and xvid files)

It PLAYS EVERYTHING (BUT IF NOT SOMETHING VIRUS PROBLEM EXIST)

The media player that fills all your needs. It can handle DVDs, (S)VCDs, Audio CDs, web streams, TV cards and much more.

You don't need to keep track of a dozen codec packs you need to have installed. VLC has all codecs built-in. It comes with support for nearly all codec there is.

And what is more it can even play back the file or media if it is damaged! Missing or broken pieces are no stop to VLC, it plays all the video and audio information that's still intact.

SOME OF THE FILES SUPPORTED

MPEG-1/2
DIVX (1/2/3)
MPEG-4 ASP, DivX 4/5/6, XviD, 3ivX D4
H.261
H.263 / H.263i
H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC
Cinepak
Theora
Dirac / VC-2
MJPEG (A/B)
WMV 1/2
WMV 3 / WMV-9 / VC-1	1, 2	1	1, 2	1	1
Sorenson 1/3 (Quicktime)
DV (Digital Video)
On2 VP3/VP5/VP6
Indeo Video v3 (IV32)
Indeo Video 4/5 (IV41, IV51)
Real Video 1/2
Real Video 3/4

1. Windows DMO codecs can be used by VLC on 32-bit x86 platforms and allow WMV-3/WMA-3 decoding. This feature is untested on Intel-based Macs.

 


ONE OF THE BEST IF player is slim and also takes of 33mb(approx) of your ram in stable mode
and if u play a normal quality video it takes abot 70-80 mb of your ram(tested at the LCD samsung t220 22" at
resolution 1680x1080)

NOW WE WILL DISSCUSS ABOUT GOM PLAYER

HERE ITS IS ITS SCREENSHOT

I can tell really a good built to player

Codec Finder

GOM Player includes many codecs (XviD, DivX, FLV1, AC3, OGG, MP4, H263 and more) so you won't need to install separate codecs for most videos. For those videos that require a separate codec, GOM Player will find one and direct you to a place where you can download an open source version of the codec. That way, you won't get stuck with unnecessary codecs on your system.

Play Broken AVI Files (Patented)

AVI files can't be played if the index is broken, or if the file isn't completely downloaded. This is because the index is located at the end of the file. GOM Player's patented technology enables users to view files with broken indexes or that are still being downloaded.

Powerful Subtitle Support

GOM Player supports SMI, SRT, RT, SUB(with IDX) files for subtitle. You can specify margin, location, size, resolution, font and others. You can also enable shadow, view ASF files with subtitle, karaoke subtitle mode. You can even synchronize subtitle and video if there's any mismatch.

Convenient Playlist

If you run a video file and there is already a file with a similar name in the directory, it will be automatically added to your playlist. GOM Player has a similar playlist format as M3U, PLS, ASX and you can also include and edit different media formats on that playlist as well. It's easy to create and edit your own multimedia playlist with GOM Player.

Support Different Media Types

Along with different media format such as AVI, MPG, MPEG and DAT, GOM Player also supports streaming Windows media format (WMV, ASF, ASX). You can also watch DVD-quality videos with 5.1 channel audio output.

Screen Capture

Screen capture allows you to take a screenshot of your video directly from GOM Player. Using the Burst Capture feature, you can take continuous screenshots up to 999 shots.

Advanced Features

There are an endless number of advanced features. Customize brightness, contrast and saturation. Sharpen and add noise to your video. Try the audio equalizer. Repeat a section of your video with our A-B Repeat feature. Fast forward/rewind a few seconds using left/right keys. And much more for you to discover!

IN PLAYING FILES IT ALSO PLAYS THE SAME FILE AS VLC PLAYS

ABOUT CONSUPTION OF RAM MY SUGGESTION USE THIS BECAUSE 

IT CONSUMES 3 TIMES LESS RAM THAN VLC IN STABLE MODE I.E 12-13MB

and if u play normal video file it take abt 60-70 mb of ram
