Upgraded RAM Rating stayed the same

The manager at my bank told me one day that they were debating not upgrading
from a 10mb to a 20mb hard drive because of the cost. After all, all they
ever ran on it was Lotus 1-2-3.
 
I think you need to plug the user into alternate slots and run dual channel.
:-) What are the top ratings, obviously I get a 5.9 for graphics (only 4.7
for games) on my old video card, so it goes over 5. Wonder what a new card
would run? What is the top rating for a given item.
 
I have not seen what the top rating might be. In the chat on the subject
over in TechBeta months ago the answer was that it was still in development.

Aaaaaagh! I remember paying $500 for 16 Megs of RAM. Back then
16 Megs was a lot. Maybe it was 64? I think I still have it
somewhere in a box.
2 GB is not a lot of RAM.

I paid about $600 for 16meg at Fry's way back when . I couldn't
wait to load it up so I could run the WinNT 3.1 beta!

Those were the days. I remember the endless poring through magazines trying
to find something to run on those machines. At the time the NorthStar
seemed like it was going to be the system to have. I never did.
 
Running 4GB($350) on an AMD 64 3800+($150) machine under Vista x64.

Have I "used" all 4 gigs? Have no idea, but since I am using it to tape the
World Cup games, while I watch taped shows on the same machine, have office
open, WIndows Mail, Deer Park Alpha 2, IE 32(for flash and ESPNSoccernet)
it makes it MUCH smoother than when I was doing that with 2GB. A lot less
hard drive thrashing. I often am doing something with photos or video, so
RAM is GOOOOOOD.
 
I'm sure you know what a bitblt is, but

Q: Do you know what a spltblt is?

A: The uneaten half of a sandwich.
