Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - two unrelated questions (re: EQ/audio controls and Ram allocation)

1. RAM: is there some sort of utility out there that allows one to take direct control of RAM allocation? what I'd like to be able to do is to limit certain resource hogging programs from hogging all my limited (only 224mb) RAM. some specs: running winblows 98se on an Amd Athlon 750 mghz processor, two hard drives, ATI 7500 64mb vid card, cd burner and dvd player.

1a. my 224 mb of ram is in the form of one 32 mb card, one 64 mb, and a 128 mb. does it make a difference which slot each of these goes in? my mobo is an AOpen ak72.

2. The other night I downloaded "The Song Remains the Same," the Led Zeppelin concert film. Now, I expected the sound quality to be mediocre at best, as the original recordings werent the best to begin with. However, this was even worse than I had feared. So I got the bright idea that, since I have the winamp plugin that allows avi movie files to play thru winamp, Id do that and then use the EQ to tailor the sound more to my liking. After starting the file in winamp, which in and of itself did improve the sound, I found that the EQ had NO effect on the sound output of the file. So, I ask you serious audiophiles this: is there a program that does allow what I was trying to do? what about DVD's, can they be run through an EQ program of some sort?

thanks for the help
