Here??™s a breakdown of the projects.
Easy Projects
Project 1, ???Max Out Your Memory and Turbo-Charge It with ReadyBoost,??? shows you
how to increase the amount of RAM in your PC to the max??”and then add an extra
kick by using Windows Vista rather than Windows XP, add an extra kick by using the
ReadyBoost feature. For most PCs, memory is the least expensive and most effective
way of making Windows run faster, so unless your PC is already stuffed to the gills
with memory, you??™ll probably want to start here.
Project 2, ???Get the Fastest Possible Internet Connection,??? explains your various
options for Internet connections??”depending on where you live and on how friendly
your local utility companies choose to be. If you??™ve already got the fastest Internet
connection available, skip this project. Otherwise, upgrade your Internet connection,
and you??™ll upgrade your entire computing experience.
Project 3, ???Turn Your PC into a Free Phone,??? demonstrates how to install the Skype
software and use it to make free phone calls (you??™ll need a headset, or speakers and
a microphone). You??™ll find Skype easy to use and an easy way to save money on
phone bills.
Project 4, ???Turn Your PC into a Video Phone,??? shows you how to use Windows
Live Messenger to make video calls on your PC. As you??™d imagine, you need a video
camera and a broadband Internet connection to make calls.
