It's probably around that much actualy; the university tuition fees around here are simply insane. (the top ones such as MIT, Stanford, Princeton, etc. are around $30000; don't know if I should even bother applying there for undergraduate

)

1.5g RAM in this box, 2g in the other, and the three servers are a 1g each.

Aldo, I paid $2500 per semester at my college (28th in the nation for engineering schools, not bad at all, and one of the first to offerin a 3d design and animation curriculum). That covered tuition, room, board, books, technology fees, military uniforms, and miscellaneous expenses. Some schools, like MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, etc, charge much more, but no one is required to go to them. Besides, there's a metric assload of scholarships, grants and waivers out there to lessen the load.

Yeah, I am probably going to go one of the cheaper ones for undergraduate (UMCP, probably), since that degree isn't that important, but I will need to go to one of the big-names for the graduate PhD degree since just the name attached to your degree means a lot when looking for a job (MIT looks good, if it was not so expensive); problem is that you pretty much are required to go to one of them to get good jobs in the world of academia.

*ahem* for you poor saps with slow procs and not enough ram: www.pricewatch.com is a great place to look for upgrades. 1 ghz Athlon and mobo and 512 mb ddr266 ram for around $150, maybe less.

Unfortunately, some of the vendors don't ship overseas...

BTW, GE, $17000 a semester?!?!:eek2:

Holy flaming cripes on toast, that's nearly two full years at my uni, housing and books included!!! And this is one of the top 11 schools in the southeast US!!

BTW, my 384 will soon be replaced by at least 512 mb plus a shiny new 2ghz or faster proc...and I'm about to ditch this daffy WinXP for dual-booting 98se and 2000...

EDIT: heh, forgot my ram specs.

512Mb PC800 RDRam for me. Expensive as anything but quite nice

EdrickV · **Reply #47 on:** October 08, 2002, 04:08:13 am

Only 128 MB here. But then, my other two computers (one not being used and one being a PS2) only have 32 MB. 32 MB was a lot for a guy who'd previously used a PS/1 that had been upgraded from 4 MB to 8 MB.
