      Benny Pedersen -> August Abolins said..               BP> what if there is a computer with 256GB ram ?, i have one with        BP> 32GB ?, latest labtops have 8GB and windows 7, no ? :)               BP> dell btw make a labtop with 192GB, no joke                            I googled for that and came up with "The Precision T7500 workstation sports,       count 'em, 12 memory slots, each of which can take a PC10600 stick of up to       16GB at 1333 MHz, reports Computerworld."       [By Andrew Nusca | March 27, 2009, 9:44am PDT]              ...but it's not a laptop.              Nevertheless..              "So just how much does 192GB cost? Well, you do the math: $1,800 for hardware       plus $40,800 for 12 RAM modules plus $8,000 or so for Dell's customary 20%       markup. Max that sucker out, and you're looking at a potential $50,000 price       tag.              Ouch. (Dell didn't officially announce prices beyond the T7500 unit itself.)              Would you spend 50 large for RAM bragging rights?"              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)        * Origin: Fidonet Via Newsreader - http://www.easternstar.info (1:123/789.0)    |
