Title: 16GB Ram?
Post by: Daddy on June 19, 2007, 01:08:29 AM
Mac Pros can have 16GB of RAM and 4 Harddrives


I want that much ram, but I wouldn't use it. WHAT IS THAT MUCH RAM USED FOR?

We've already discussed that, for photoshop.

Yes? Someone said that some layers on photoshop can be about 3gbs and you usually need more then one layer. Most people won't ever ever need it. Ram will become obsolete in the future, something better will replace it.

It would have to be an enormous image, and would probably have to be a higher color depth.

That amount of memory would be more practical for 3D rendering and whatnot, really.

I'm an idiot because...? Ram will be replaced in the future, I'm sure of it. I don't mean the idea of ram, I mean 1gb ram and up to 16gb ram will be replaced with something of more memory space (more gbs lol). Should have clarified that because I noticed you were online.

As abundantly clear as that was, it wasn't.

Poorly.

To be fair, the initial quality is lacking, as well.

But seriously, when isn't it lacking? To be honest, I don't know much about computers and should have taken more time to explain what I meant. I just meant that in the future 16gbs of ram won't be a hell of a lot like it is now-a-days.

PHYDEAUX, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR RAM TO BE REPLACED SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE WITH SOME OTHER MUTANT TECHNOLOGY.

I doubt we'll call biological machines based on plants or animals that do computations "computers".

For the same reason why we don't refer to vehicles as "horseless carriages".

WHO CARES ABOUT THE FUTURE? Do we really need to worry about the replacement of RAM, if there will be anything? I suggest shutting the fuck up about that and worrying about how shitty and slow your current computers are because they lack RAM.

Anyway, that's old news. I've been wanting a machine with a lot of RAM but 16GB's is too more much than I need. All I really need is about 1GB of RAM, if not 2.

If they chose to do so, that is.

I say we worry more about lazy developers.
