For a video enthusiant and or photographer or graphic designer or architect or...... 8Gigs is awesome! I still think 8 GBs is a waste regardless of what the user does on his home PC. i do too, when in the world will you ever need 8GB worth of apps open? Its just a waste of money I'll hold you to that one! |

The most expensive would be the supercomputers, but regarding PC-architecture computers... QUOTE (Spyder2k @ Jan 19 2005, 08:56 PM) Their "4.2GHz" CPU is just a 3.6 that's been overclocked; I have a P4 HT that's running at 4.17, so 4.2GHz isn't impossible. Their solid-state hard drives are commonly encountered on high-performance servers. Their systems are simply overclocked regular machines with hardware RAM disks and other minor enhancements. It still doesn't justify the price though.

It's only 1GB per processor! Did you know 512MB on 32 bits systems lets you store as much data as 768MB on 64 bits systems ? In fact, you should take 16GB. |

i saw this invoice once, for a server for WorldMark. The total cost was $3,610,264. This is the kind of server that you run WalMart on. Here is the link click here to see it. |

Perhaps you have no use for 8GB on your desktop PC, but I could use that no problem (VMWare Server + several OS'es running heavy-ish processes and virtual appliances, databases, you name it). I couldn't live with just 512, my PC with the least RAM has 1.5GB (and I wish it had 4) |
