I have a Tibook so Ram is more expensive!!
I have 512mb now sigh... maybe later I will get a gig($400)!!!

you can get ram a lot cheaper at 3rd party sites instead of buying from apple who seem to rip you off on ram
I got 256 in my 450 MHz pMac. I might get more later, but a video card is higher on my list of things to buy....

cant wait to get a mac
Hehe, same here. My desktop PC (200 MHz) has 32 MB, and it maxes out at 128 MB
My laptop PC (550 MHz), I just upgraded to 192 MB from 64 MB and it maxes out at 256 MB
Oh yeah, I upgraded my laptop since now it seems i'll be waiting for october to get my powerbook...grrr...I hate this computer I have.
Can't wait to get me a powerbook!
>(awulf) TI-83 Calculator - 32KB
Only wusses use a measily TI-83!
If you want real power from TI, go with model 89. It's beats the heck out of the 83, 83 plus AND the 86. And it's worth EVERY penny.
ibookin'@mwny, what minimum amount of RAM would you suggest for a TI-89?

Ah, I remember my 86. Its the best for games...good space, very stable. Too bad mine got stolen...
If you plan on going to college, do yourself a favor and get an 89! Very useful...I had mine when it first came out...profs didn't know much about them...I could use them on calc tests! Too bad some are banning them now...
The TI-89 is great.
wow, there are quite a few here that have close to, or more than 1GB RAM.
hopefully i'll be one of them soon as well.

128Mb currently, just received a 256Mb stick, which will be plugged in when I'm home
So technically still 128Mb and that's what I voted.
But only downside is that I cannot seem to have the 256Mb and 1 of the 64 at the same time
Oh well, anything's better than 128Mb so...

Sorry for BP, but whooohoooo, just plugged in my new 256Mb stick.
Man, me iMac has come back to live, everything is much faster.
scrolling, surfing, iPhoto, ...
This is just great.
I'm installing my Jag copy this wkend, I'm anxious to know what Jag will give.

>(Over Achiever) I could use [the TI-89] on calc tests! Too bad some are banning them now...
That's really stupid, IMO. I know that with NMQSTs and SATs you are not allowed to use a TI-92 Plus or any other Calculator with a keyboard-like design. But if you ban TI-89s you might as well ban every model of TI built in the form of the Graphing Calculator series. I know that there are special programs you can input to model calcs like the TI-89, but it wouldn't hurt to put limitations on Calculators.
>(KC) ibookin'@mwny, what minimum amount of RAM would you suggest for a TI-89?
>(Over Achiever) huh? you can change the ram? how? why?
Let's say you wanted your TI-89 to solve a complex exponential growth function by trying to isolate in the root part of the exponent, and you ran out of memory. If you have more, your calculator can do a lot more calculations, FYI.

I've got a beige G3 with 192Mb, I was going to upgrade to 384Mb last year (it's all my POS G3 can take) but the RAM prices kept changing around the £18 mark for 128Mb, I'm kicking myself now because the price of 128Mb has been stuck at £33 - £38 all year.
I'm going to add another 128 soon, 320Mb should be enough till I get a faster mac, spending much more on stuff for my mac would just be wasted money that I could save up towards a new G4.

I know. But I have a little brother that took the ACTs...they personally checked every calc in the room he told me. Its not just the programs on the TI-89...its the symbolic manuplation capabilities or something. But FYI, the TI-89 is banned for ACTs, and I've been a TA in classes where they're just banning all graphing calculators because of the text editor.
I personally have been in a quantum chemistry class where graphing calculators were banned...it sucked. This is stupid, but its happening.As for the RAM thing, I just dunno how to upgrade it.
I have the standard 256 that came with my new iMac. Does anyone recommend putting in more? maybe another 256?
Yes. 256 will suck for X. There is a SO-DIMM slot easily acessible under the bottom hatch. You can buy PC100 SO-DIMMS for it for relatively cheap.
Buying memory is the cheapest way to make your system faster and better.
There is another DIMM slot, but you have to take the computer apart.
