my bro makes fun of my 256 vs his 512

maybe i should upgrade now

I know how low RAM got. I got 256MB RAM for 110 bux and that is not that good of a deal now! I guess I could fill my Abit out t 1.5GB, but I probably couldn't tell a difference from 512MB.

Buying Mushkin rev3 is the stupidest thing I ever done. I only have 124mhz FSB and I'm using rev3!!! What a waste of 140 dollars.

 

[TuffGuy]

hehehe... ordered 512mb 150mhz cas 2-2-2 ram for $175.

<< for 64-megabit SDRAM--one of the most common types of memory used in PCs >>



HA!!! Does anyone around here ACTUALLY buy 64mb chips nowadays? Anyone also notice that these chumps said megaBIT (instead of the correct term megaBYTE)?

I just recieved my new memory today. I got scared when prices shot up slightly on pricewatch last Friday and bought a stick. Of course, now memory came back down again, but that's OK by me.

Well, when they say 64-megabit they are referring to the density of the individual chips themselves. Most memory chips use 64-megabit densities now, but will soon by replaced by higher density 32x4 (128-megabit) density chips, which are only supported by newer chipsets such as the VIA Apollo and AMD's Athlon chipsets.

namuna, you're the one that is mistaken.

he said CHIPS, which are the black things. 8 of those for a 64 MB stick (or module). 8 of those for 128MB. 4 of those for 32 MB, and 2 for 16 MB =)

64Mbit chips are one of the most widely used chips.

/me kicks Xman in the shins.

 

[urbantechie]

I knew about the prices last weekend from my boss.

 

[loup garou]

LOL @ Namuna! Who's the chump now, smartguy?

 

[XMan]

Hey, someone's ignorance is nothing to make fun of. He made a mistake, no big deal.

 

[loup garou]

I was just joking around, no harm meant...notice the ''

How much memory does one really need?

 

[lupin]

I got 512MB a while ago. That is, 4x128. My P3B-F has problems with handling 4 chips, so I sold one. Leaving me 384 MB. I'm using NT, and even with bunch of apps like Photoshop, AutoCAD many other open, never reach 300 MB usage.
