~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...

128 MB PC133 RAM...

Listen to this then...

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!

Nay, it will be seen as old and decrepit. In 1995 8meg was seen in the same way the 256 is now.

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...

WinNT/2k can handle that much easy.
98se will require a registry edit to acknowledge and use anything more than 512 I believe.

Vertigo1 · **Reply #28 on:** September 03, 2002, 12:29:27 am

512MB PC133

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.

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!

beatspete · **Reply #33 on:** September 05, 2002, 03:22:03 pm

128 MB here, 256 MB DDR on the other one... never really needed more.

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.....

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.

Speaking of ram, how fast would 512 DDR ram be faster that 512 SDram?
