Yep, that'd probably do it.

Cut and Paste into another folder on the same drive and it shouldn't even take long, because it should just just juggle the file allocation table rather than physically moving the data?

Or.. keep the series or whatever in its folder as you normally would then use a sub folder.

eg.

C:\\Totally Cool Show SE01
4.avi 5.avi 6.avi

C:\\Totally Cool Show SE01\Watched
1.avi 2.avi 2.avi

Will take zero copy time. Assuming you arent using any cross drive dodgy symlink stuff but who really does that.

What about putting a shortcut in another folder? Saves moving the actual file.

If you're going down that route, why not just keep a list of what you've watched?

Figured it'd be a bit of a long shot. I thought about the things like a watched folder inside the actual folder and so on, but my OCD wouldn't allow me to do that as it wouldn't look as neat as it currently does.

Cheers anyway guys.

I just found this while looking for something and gave it a try, apart from the fact it looks dodgey as strawberry float, "lisence" as an example of the dodgeyness. It seems quite handy, although it only marks things in the program, not in your folders. I'm sure there's something out there somewhere.

The matched colours are channels. Blue is a channel, and white is a channel.

You want to match the sticks in the channel and realistically, across the whole lot. Step 1, check your mobo documentation and find out channel 1, put the 2 sticks in there and try. If that works, populate the other channel.

If that doesnt work, swap the sticks around on step 1 and try again.

Rather critically, make sure your mobo will take 4 gigs.

32bit systems can recognise 4GB of RAM total, this however includes whatever is on your graphics card.

Either way your BIOS should see the whole 4GB if its working. When the machine boots up what does your BIOS report?

I'd probably double check the BIOS revisions, make sure that there wasn't some issue with ram support in earlier BIOS versions, but I'm having trouble finding and accessing foxconn's support pages.

Would something like this http://www.lambda-tek.com/PCI-SATA3-DYN ... =gbase16.5 solve my lack of SATA ports due to fatty card? It seems easier than breaking apart a cable ghetto solution style and for £6 it's not exactly going to break the bank either.

It looks like it only does up to SATA2 and doesnt explicitly support Win7.

Fast response! I just edited my post to provide a link to a different PCI card. Then as I wrote this post, I saw this http://www.dabs.com/products/startech-c ... -72H8.html good bit more expensive but I could really benefit from having access to more than two SATAII ports (DVD drive would remain in motherboard SATA) whilst both SSD and HDD would go to PCI card.

Looks like it'd work, but a few concerns.

I wouldnt run the SSD and HDD through that. I understand that the performance would be affected for starters, but also I dont think it'd just 'work' as they do straight onto the mobo. You generally have to use extra software to configure cards like this and Im not sure it would support a boot drive. Finally, wouldnt it block one of the fans on the graphics card?
