    Using external memory


    I am sure my condition is not weird, but seems so to me!


    My tablet has 118 GB of memory and I have used it all. Yes, I have done all of the purging that is suggested. I have pluged in a 500GB external disk to offload some of the items I don't use on a regular basis. The weird thing is the system then tells me I have an F:drive with 93 GB of memory and D:drive with 376GB (assume the 500 GB drive) available. Question #1 - where did this F drive come from. Now, when I copy, say photos, to place in the D drive, the system tells me I can't move because I don't have enough memory! Question #2 - When I copy data to move, at that instance am I using a duplicate amount of memory to move the items, before I go back and delete off the C drive once the transfer looks good, or in essence how do I move the files if I dont have sufficient memory!


    Computers are wonderful tools if you know how to use them!


    Thanks...

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Using external memory

    Choice of memory and motherboard... a bit stuck...

    No one who got some suggestions on this one, huh?

    I've found out that the Asus M3A78-T needs to be flashed, so then that motherboard is excluded from my list. Which motherboard and memory should I then go for? Any suggestions?
