You may have heard the story of Abraham and his promised son, Isaac, going to the computer store and buying all the parts to put together their own computer. When they got to the register Isaac noticed that they had not grabbed any memory chips. Disturbed by this he asked his father where they were. Abraham’s reply was, “God will provide the RAM.”
Enough really sad religious technology jokes.
I got 3 gigabytes of RAM for my desktop earlier this week. It now loads Windows XP with a 1.67 MHz AMD chip in about 15-20 seconds. Just about as fast as the Apple iBook laptop with 512MB of RAM 🙂 However, this thing whips through applications and allows me to record audio and videos in for clients like nothing else!
You’re booting Windows XP on your iBook?
Does sound sweet though.
No, I’m booting Mac OS X Panther on the iBook 🙂 However, the boot times of the OSes are similar (I haven’t technically timed the iBook, but its quicker than XP was prior to the RAM improvements)
