Some RAM confusion.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Sheeesh. How about 24 gigs of Ram on a
bridge assembly running on an Enterprise Server R2 which can handle up to a maximum
of 1TB of RAM if ever needed.

 

[thanatoid]

Yes. Especially since we *must* move to Vista Enterprise.

In fact, we just spent $17,000 USD upgrading RAM from 2GB
to 4GB on all our platforms. Users noted quite and
improvement. Expaecially those who open multiple Outlook,
Excel and/or Powerpoint windows simultaneously.

No offense, it's just one of "those days", but if they spell
like you [Expaecially], I am surprised they don't open 20
windows of each simultaneously.

Aside from all other advantages ("all the people who used to
beat you up in school are now your co-workers - anon.) being
trapped in corporate is truly hell.

I talk from the viewpoint of a single person working on a
computer at home and not designing a spaceship.

I fully admit I know nothing about corporate hells and I am
happy I don't.

Interesting how I manage to open multiple Excel and Word windows, Outlook
and multiple IE tabs and windows perfectly well on 2GB RAM...and how do you
open multiple OUTLOOK windows?

No problem. I'm embarrassed by my own spelling and I'm too bloody lazy to allow the spell
checker to always correct me.

The *most* important aspect however is that I can usually get my point across even with
atrocious spelling.

One window for the inbox, one for each email message and/or calendar.

If you are referring to the first sentence, put the reply where
it belongs. And if you are referring to what you posted directly
under, no, it is a 100% correct statement describing my
experience. You may not agree with it because you are demented,
but that does not make it "incorrect".


I already pointed out you are demented. May I add you need a
life.


Your work must be of the highest quality, conceptually and
technically. Not to mention you NEVER crash, right?


People do all sorts of things. That does not make them sane or
right.

I suspect THE REAL TRUTH is back under another name because thanatoid
seems to detain "the real truth" (according to himself).

What's wrong about using 8 GB ram (or more) under a 64 bits OS, I do it
on my home personnal Core2Quad (making music for fun) and frankly, I'm
quite happy with it and I don't consider myself insane.

Curious statement, but all I know I read on the net. I don't
/really/ know anything let alone whatever the "truth" about
anything may be, but I will certainly not waste time explaining
to someone why Roxio and Nero are shitty bloated
incomprehensible illogical pieces of crap outdistanced by
programs 1/30 their size, etc. or why making archival CD-R's
using the built-in Windows packet writing "function" at 48x is
not a good idea.

Good for you. I have been reading a Computer Music magazine from
2001 and Robert Miles (remember him? Horrible schmaltzy music,
"Children", but he was quite famous for a little while) was
using a 933 MHz P3 with 256MB of RAM. And better music than
anything done now was done in the 80's on equipment some people
would not even consider computers. And it still /could be/, but
everyone wants their quad cores and 32 GB's of RAM. Whatever.

Like I always say, does having a 3GHz computer with 16GB of RAM
make you type any faster?

And a book fits on a floppy (although I am certainly not
implying anyone reads any more). As did most of the great music
I have mentioned, in MIDI format.

Thank you everyone.

All the replys helped.

I am also using other sources besides this newsgroups. I am capable of using
google, wikipedia or another search and continue to improve each day.

Sometimes using something besides an XP newsgroup does not give me
information pertaining to my OS or applications within my OS. This newsgroup
has been VERY VERY important for some of the applied knowledge that wiki and
some other sites DID NOT offer or could not even though they were fully on
point. I am very greatful for everyone who replyed to anything I posted. I
have learned a vast amount of knowledge in a short period of time.
