In the event the machine is running Windows XP, for instance, the actual memory threshold is 3.25GB. The installation of above this would basically constitute a waste. Make certain that one's motherboard can handle the actual upgrade quantity, as well. Interesting blog post.

If the computer's motherboard is reasonably current while there are no computer OS issues, changing the memory literally takes under 1 hour. It's on the list of easiest computer system upgrade procedures one can envision. Thanks for revealing your ideas.

Looks very solid, like the EP base. I know with my EP I can clamp it to my granite reference plate and lift it off the table with the power of the suction base. That should keep the WEPS stable. BTW, I just got the 400 HD Boride you mentioned in your blog but in the 1/2 thick size. Got it mounted a couple days ago so I'm eager to try it out. Nice! Looks very solid, like the EP base.

I actually have a 3k, 5k, and 10k arriving in the mail tomorrow for just such a trial run. Up to this point, I've tried most every popular sharpening stone except for the Choseras. The big reason for that is my disbelief that another aluminum oxide stone could be worth as much as Naniwa charges for them. I can't remain ignorant forever though, so I'm giving them a try. As far as cloudiness with the Chosera 10K is concerned, the Sigmas are similar. The Sigma 10K ceramic leaves a frosted finish, which some prefer. The 13K Tamago-iro will make that finish a mirror. My personal preference is to use high speed steel specific sharpening media up to the point that I choose my finishing stone. That way, I'm more certain that the carbides in the steel are getting properly cut and prepped and that the full potential of the finishing stone is being met. In other news, I have a video camera, a full line of ceramic Sigmas, Arashayama 1K and 6K, and a stack of other things to try out post about. Hopefully I'll get some of the requested info posted soon. Thanks for the offer. I actually have a 3k, 5k, and 10k arriving in the mail tomorrow for just such a trial run.

I have an Ozuku Asagi jnat but havent played with it a whole lot yet,waiting to get a nagura,very hard to get a slurry going and it cuts very slow with none,shoot you an email soon,BTW I have a 10k chosera mounted that is coming to the end of its days,be more than happy to shoot it to you in the mail so you can trial run before you buy,shoot you an email soon.

It is an alumina and silicate based polishing stone. I don't yet have a Chosera 10K to do a side by side comparison. That's coming soon. I've heard that it's a finer stone and leaves a more lusterous finish. The Sigma Power Tamago-iro stones have more silicates in them, so they can polish more and be used like a natural stone.

I will do a video, but it will have to wait for my work load to slow down... probably a couple months from now. I've gotten other requests for videos on my other articles as well. I'm a noob when it comes to video editing and Youtube. But hopefully I'll pick it up quick. As a side note, I do have Sigma's and Boride's for sale at reasonable rates. If anyone would like those particular stones, it may be cheaper to just purchase them from me. Cut stones are priced at about 1/4 the cost of the full size stone. Request noted.

I have a suggestion for a topic for your blog: how you cut stones for the Edge Pro, with pictures or video! I also read your posts on KF and BF.
