Jammin' the G4 till I can afford a G5 QUAD

Apple PowerMac G5 Quad

Memory is a good thing, without it we would, erm what was I talking about?

Memory is important to computers too. This is R.A.M as defined by the google.

The definition I liked best...

"Random Access Memory, the volatile memory used to temporarily store information for processing. This is the fastest type of memory for the computer, and the most expensive."

A revised and more appealing definition of memory...

"Up to 16GB of memory (RAM) provides ample bandwidth to compose using an unprecedented number of tracks."

It can also support up to eight 23inch monitors - far out!

Rich Man, Poor Man

Man, I can't afford a new Apple PowerMac G5 Quad. I want one so bad, but they cost just a Rizla short of £2300

Jammin' my PowerBook G4

My PowerBook G4 struggled with iPhoto and Photoshop open at the same time. What to do? I had 1GB of RAM, didn't think having 2GB would make a lot of difference - I was wrong, a big mistake.

After undertaking a remarkably simple procedure of buying two 1GB memory sticks, undoing 3 phillips screws, my G4 showed 2GB of memory and now everything is a little quicker. Some things are a lot quicker.

I have just bought Logic Pro, and hopefully next week I will have a chance to see how Logic runs on my slighty greying, but Viagra popping G4 PowerBook - 'Kundun'. Which has been given a good kick up the arse (Father Jack style) by it's new found maxed out RAM.

Feck Off! lol

Peace
