Title: Showin` off me new pc
Post by: Evilbob on September 11, 2007, 12:12:03 PM
Yes, I'm getting a new PC. To start with, it'll have a 2.44Ghz quad core processor, 2 GB of RAM (to upgrade later), and some crappy graphics card (to upgrade later. Then I'll get a 19" TFT monitor. I win.

BOB EDIT: Don't show off your editing my posts, mod scum. You could have subtly changed it to something acceptable and PMed me that you changed it, but NOOO, you have to shout at everyone.

Nice.  Once you upgrade that graphics card, let me know.  We can play Unreal 04 sometime.

You're confusing RAM and Hard Drive memory. They're two different things. RAM is Random Access Memory, that controls all kinds of things on the computer, like the memory cache and so on. 1 Gig of RAM is enough for most things.

Hard Drive memory is the stuff you use to actually store data on the computer. You use the HD to store all those files and stuff, most computers today have upwards of 60 Gigs.

Yeah, I see where you're confused.  My PC has about 1.4G RAM, and 256G of actual Memory.  They're very different.
