Memory Memory...ahhh, the memories
 

Remember paying $338 for ea. of two 8meg sticks of FPM back in '93 when I built my first system....along with a $950 P90 (The flawed one at THAT!)

Predicament:
With memory prices SOOOoooo low right now, I have this incredible urge to run out and buy a couple gigs worth. Thing is....I don't need it...I think.

256MB in my main system, 128MB in wife's system, and 128MB in the gateway (overkill)

Then the problem of 'will this type of memory even be useful in the next 2 years?'
Reason asking is because I wonder if I will be switching to a RDRAM system or DDRAM or something else which would make all my memory practically useless.

I dunno. Bottom line, do I REALLY need to buy more just because it's SO friggin cheap?

I remember those days all to well. I was paying $59 bucks a meg for ram, and 900 bucks for a 1 gig hard drive.... But I am going to pickup some more ram just to have and possibly sell if prices jump back up for who knows what reason...

hmmm yeah buy a load of RAM and hope for another earthquake in Taiwan...

you know windows 9x wont handle over 512megs...

there's a app that'll let u make a ramdrive... up to 512 MB...

so if u have a GIG of mem ... win9x also has 512.. http://www.procooling.com/ubb/smile.gif

and u have to make a script for copying Q3 or UR to the RDrive...

and then u say to ur LAN-buddies: "who's got the rockets first???" hehe
