2 gigs of RAM and a 1.66GHz processor?

Hmmmmm.......

I see apple hasnt improved their system balance.
Anything that fills up all that RAM is gonna choke that CPU.
Unless its a 1.5 GB Office Document. Which I'm not sure is even possible.

Reminds me of the iBook I was foolish enough to buy.
1.4 Ghz G4 and 256 MB with OSX. Thing consistanly froze if I ran more than one program.

Don't post if you aren't educated about what you're talking about. My PC has a 1.8GHz Venice chip, and 2GB of RAM. Is that a waste? Factor in the fact that it's a dual core chip, and your argument is really invalid.

Did you say "Thats not funny...now give me a real pc?"

codeyf · Mar 31, 2006

Yeah, last week I got a IBM T60p left on my desk

Intel Centrino Duo @ 2.16ghz
1gb DDR2
ATI FireGL v5200 w/256mb RAM

I win.

shortylickens · Mar 31, 2006

I can post if I want.
I dont take orders from you, snookums.

I am educated through the official Anandtech website, the AT forums and plenty of home and office experience as an IT.

(My forum education comes from the tech section. I use OT as entertainment.)

And my argument is not "INVALID". Find a dictionary. Just because you dont like what I said and failed to come up with a counter-argument doesnt make me "INVALID".

Please be a bitch somewhere else.

First off, the fact that I used "invalid" doesn't make your post any more true. 2GB of RAM is NOT wasted on a 1.66GHz (Solo or Duo) processor. On top of that, that's not Apple fault, as you put in your post. They ship with 512MB standard.

I feel sorry for your employer. Next time, brush up on your pc skils

You nitwit, I bet you think NetBurst is the sh!t :roll:
Newsflash, clockspeed =! performance. Pentium M, Core Solo, and Core Duo have VERY short pipelines, and are based on the P6 architecture, they're not supposed to have high clock speeds because they don't need them. Dumbass, your argument isn't "INVALID" because he doesn't like it, its because you have as much IT experience as the city manager of Tuttle, Oklahoma. Going to call the FBI next?
/rant

EDIT: Oh, and your "office experience as an IT" just got kicked in the diamonds by a "pimply faced high school student".

So I get back from a meeting and there is a mac mini sitting on my desk ...
