An extra 256MB on a AMD Turion64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-52 ?
OMG.

Now yeah, maybe he uses a USB stick as extra RAM.

:D

*Edit
Maybe we should split those last posts into a 'TinMan47's weird memory lounge' topic in General.

So your computer has 4 processors? Isn't that a bit overkill?

2 processors, each dual core, that's quad core(remember, this is Tinman we're talking to) :P And yes, it's overkill!


This reminds me I gotta check out them prices on the quad-core persessors!

2 dual cores does not equal a quad core (it does equal 4 cores tho) :P quad cores are inferior to dual core processors at single threaded programs.

No Franpa, they are equal if compared to the same clockrate dual and single core procs.
They simply use one core if the software isn't developed with paralellism in mind.

When compared with single thread software to the newest single core systems they will be slower, but that's only because a new single proc system has a much higher clockrate.

Compare them with a single/dual core with the same clock rate and they win (a little).
When benchmarked they usually perform a small bit better, because they are mounted in the newest systems(mobos-fastest RAM, and so on...).

And if I'm wrong, it means I didn't understand what the IT minions from Nixdorf told me.

Maybe he uses an onscreen keyboard at the bottom of his screen, ya know, the kind you use with your mouse pointer .
It only increases my respect for him, not easy in use those things.

Couldn't help noticing that you first tried to cross out those words, but you apparently didn't know how to do it.
Quote my reply and remember it for the next time.

Pffffff, kids .......
