A control method of a virtual memory is adapted for using in a computer. The control method includes the following steps. First, a plurality of application programs executed in the computer are monitored. Second, the application programs are compared with at least a predetermined program, respectively. Third, the virtual memory of a solid state disk (SSD) is controlled to be turned on or turned off according to a comparing result. Herein, the virtual memory of the SSD is controlled to be turned on or turned off to enhance both lifetime of the SSD and operation efficiency of the computer.

A method for assisting in data calculation by using a display card: In the present method, input data stored in a system memory is transformed into texture data, which is then stored in a display memory of the display card. Then, a Graphic processing unit (GPU) of the display card is used for executing a texture calculation to the texture data, and a result of the texture calculation is stored in a display target of the display memory. Finally, the display target is outputted to the system memory as the output data. Accordingly, a part of calculation tasks of a central processing unit (CPU) can be given to the GPU of the display card when the CPU is in a high usage rate, so as to reduce a calculation burden of the CPU.

The invention provides a rotatable bearing base for fixing a peripheral electronic unit. The rotatable bearing base of the invention includes a pivot and a bearing portion. The pivot has two end surfaces and a lateral surface. A first connecting portion is disposed on one of the end surfaces for electrically connecting an electronic apparatus. At least a second connecting portion is disposed on the lateral surface for electrically connecting the peripheral electronic unit. Additionally, the bearing portion is elongated from the lateral surface. The peripheral electronic unit leans against the bearing portion when it is electrically connected to the second connecting portion.
