| That's how much my... I mean the family's computer has in it. Eight
billion, five hundred eighty-nine million, nine hundred thirty-four thousand,
five hundred ninety-two bits of PC133 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory,
which equals 1,073,741,824 bytes, which equals 1,048,576 kilobytes, which equals
1,024 megabytes, which equals 1 gigabyte. 1 GB of RAM. We used to have 256 MB of
it, but now have 4 times that much. It won't really help me out since I have the
computer set up to use as little memory as needed on my hard drive, but when my
dad's using the unmaintained family hard drive and having many large pictures
open in Photoshop, it tends to bog it down a little. I've been bugging him to
get more RAM for a while, or to only work on a few pictures at a time, and he
finally took one of the options. We went to Circuit City last night (after
trying Costco and Office Depot with no luck) and bought a stick of 512 MB and a
stick of 256. Our motherboard is too old to support DDR (double data rate, not
Dance Dance Revolution) SDRAM, so we had to get regular SDRAM. Oh well. It's not
a huge deal. I don't notice any difference with it in, but then again, my things
don't use up very much memory (Notepad, Internet Explorer, AIM), so we'll have
to wait for my dad to get home and try it out with his pictures. Well, now
that I've put the RAM in, I don't have any parent-worthy excuse not to go
job-searching, so I'm gonna go take a shower and fill out more applications.
Catch y'all later. Note me. |
