what kind of keyboard is that?

If you bought a computer with 4 GB of RAM in 2010 which was one of the highest amounts of memory, you will notice that in 2011 the highest amounts are between 8 and 16 GB of RAM!

Technologies are changing so fast! My computer has 8 GB of RAM and a computer which is 20 years old has 8 MB of RAM! The difference is huge... How are the technologies going to improve in the next 20 years, since they have started to improve faster and faster every year! From 2000 to 2005 the technologies have improved less than from 2005 to 2010!

It's funny because the video ram required just to run a display at 1024 * 768, btw my favorite video display resolution requires at least 3MB's of video ram. How do I know this? Well if you take 1024*768*32/8/1024/1024 you get 3 or 3MB's of video ram. It's a amazing you can even get directX to work on this because my calculations don't even include 3d elements! So basically a 4MB video card would barely cut it for gaming back then. : ) My lord how times have changed! 1GB video cards?

@chucknorris687 hah yeah,to thin the progress between 2000 and 2010 is smaller than that from 2010 to 2011.How times have changed indeed :))

What, no spinning cube test?! That's the only thing I wanted to see out of all of this :(

It doesn't need a 3D card to run, I've done it on barely-accelerated 1mb 2D cards before. A Trident SVGA should be fine with it... (the CPU, less so!)

@TahreyUK damn,didnt think of it at the time

i should look into that :D

@TahreyUK I had a half a megabyte graphics card years and years ago and was unable to do the 3d spinning cube test because it was not even direct 3d compatible.

How do we have windows 7 and you have windows 95. Are you some alien from the future?

My old 386 should be able to do that too with 32mb ram (not a typo)

why do people use their pc with no case you can get electrocuted from it

@xSnip3rMontag3sx

Only if you do something foolish.

Plus, it makes fiddling with the hardware a lot easier.

@xSnip3rMontag3sx Only if you happen to lick an exposed +12v rail or something. The bigger danger is from yourself to the hardware (shorting something out, or zapping a RAM chip with static), and from overheating because it's no longer got a properly engineered airflow.

@TahreyUK then wat do those small little volt cylinder thingys do to u im always afraid to touch one lol when im opening up my ps1 to clean it

@xSnip3rMontag3sx "small little volt cylinder thingys" ?

I'm afraid your lack of basic electronics knowledge has intersected with my unfamiliarity of the inside of a... Sony Playstation? IBM PS/1? (not au fait with either's PCB) so I don't want to guess so much at what you mean. Possibly the power supply smoothing capacitors? Voltage regulator power transistors? Or the CMOS battery?

Either way up, there shouldn't be exposed parts at dangerous voltage & current, not without you having wet skin.

@xSnip3rMontag3sx In any case it's pretty difficult to come into contact with that stuff unless you're really meaning to do it, like sticking an uninsulated screwdriver into the expansion ports or one of the molex plugs.

And if you're doing that, with the power on, you've gone a couple steps beyond just having a bare motherboard + installed components out on the bench so you can do a bunch of tweaks and tests without having to continually open/close and/or reach into a cramped computer case.
