It sucks, i need a new mobo and some other new stuff.

Got a 40GB HDD want a extra 80GB. and 1GB of DDR.
For now i need a HDD cooler, because when it's hot outside i burn my finger when it touch it. so now i got some self made cooling fan close to it. prety annoying whit all the damn noise at night. It sounds like a F18 testing both it's engines all night.

Title: How much ram do you have?
Post by: Kitsune on September 01, 2002, 06:37:42 am: ~320 total
256 megs of pc-100
64 megs of pc-133

All running on a pc-100 motherboard that has seen simms and dimms due to the weird way Mainboard-1 put this thing together.

Could feasibly go up to 1 gig, but it'd be wasted on a 400mhz cpu, and mixing ram like that (256+256 sims, 256+256 dimms) would not be a good idea. (No, it doesn't handle anything bigger than 256 per bank, it was made in 96...)

Gotta upgrade one of these days...

64meg FPM, yes, F.P.M!

The Horror.

In my decent machine that I dont have at the moment I had 256 meg pc133.

How can people have so much ram, what OS are they using?

Expensive motherboards and XP I imagine.
Just think, in five years time 1 Gig will be min spec!

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on September 02, 2002, 01:51:39 pm: Nay, it will be seen as old and decrepit. In 1995 8meg was seen in the same way the 256 is now.
Title: How much ram do you have?
Post by: FF-Master on September 02, 2002, 09:08:25 pm: If you want to play games on XP and have them running smoothly you'll generally need around 512. Other factors are Motherboards, Video Cards, Sound Cards ect. that usually might create a bigger demande for Ram...
Title: How much ram do you have?
Post by: Kitsune on September 02, 2002, 10:43:04 pm: WinNT/2k can handle that much easy.
98se will require a registry edit to acknowledge and use anything more than 512 I believe.

Post by: Galemp on September 03, 2002, 09:44:47 pm: Well, everybody ELSE's computers the college gave them had 256 megs. But I'm an architecture student, so I get double that, plus 64 megs of video RAM.

ram's cheap... you can double it for $100.00
Title: How much ram do you have?
Post by: Fineus on September 05, 2002, 01:04:02 pm: Sounds easy doesn't it - but following the events with major corporations in the US my old company started making people redundant. Me included.

Suffice to say it royally screwed my plans for the coming few months - including getting money together for RAM (I'd just bought my GF4 when they let me go you see - leaving me with next to nothing).

Such is life!

Well... considering I pay $17000 per semester to attend a technology college, plus a $50 maintenance fee per semester, and it's an integral part of the design process, yeah.

No, all you have to do is go into msconfig and limit the ammount of RAM it can recognize. You see, Win9x will acknowlege whatever ammount of RAM your motherboard supports, but it starts to slow down when you hit 512 or go beyond.

Thank God I don't live in the land of the Free, then........... actually, that's bloody scandalous. And I thought tuition over here was bad.....

Post by: Galemp on September 06, 2002, 04:51:39 pm: I may have tacked on an extra nought... I know it starts with 17, though. I don't care, I'm not the one paying for it. All I have to worry about is food. :)

Post by: CP5670 on September 10, 2002, 09:59:13 am: 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 :p)
Title: How much ram do you have?
Post by: mikhael on September 28, 2002, 09:59:22 am: 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.

Post by: CP5670 on September 28, 2002, 10:07:10 am: 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.

Title: How much ram do you have?
Post by: JC Denton on October 07, 2002, 08:38:20 pm: *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: :eek: 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. :o

Title: How much ram do you have?
Post by: EdrickV 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. :)
