Tree 0 Posted November 21, 2005 That's a pretty nice computer. 959 megs of RAM. That's crazy.like 3 or 4 times what I've got (256). Using IE though. That's not a good thing I just forgot what I was going to say... now with unicode support! Share this post Link to post

That's not a good thing I just forgot what I was going to say... now with unicode support! I still don't know what unicode is. :wink: Anyways, I got 2x514mb of RAM at the moment and I could of used my old computer's RAM but we are giving it to a friend. Well the RAM is only clocked at 199 MHz so they didn't put the greatest in it though. Share this post Link to post

(1024MB) :wink: <2> And your DUAL processor is still only 987Mhz??? that's weird... :? get an AMD Athlon XP next time instead of a '64 :wink: (I have an XP 2200, and it's 1.8ghz) Share this post Link to post
Tree 0 Posted November 26, 2005 512MBx2 memory sticks are only 512MB sticks. I have no idea why they put the x2 on the stickers. Share this post Link to post

And the processor thing, each core is 1 GHz, so 1+1=2 GHz. Share this post Link to post
F15pilotX 4 Posted November 26, 2005 512MBx2 memory sticks are only 512MB sticks. I have no idea why they put the x2 on the stickers.I just meant 512 times two, but didn't write it out. @Soviet, that sounds better; dual processors w/only 1Ghz didn't sound right Share this post Link to post
