Jesus...256... *walks off, shaking head*

thats not true. if you know how remove all the unnessary shizz thats running in the background by default, 256mb is way more than enough. i have a 700mhz with maybe 128 mb ram running XP downstairs (its not the main pc, just a backup) and its passable. not fast, but fine for most things, especially web stuff.

this pc is a 1.3 ghz athlon, with the 256 mb. its plenty fast for anything i ever do on it. and i do do more than just web browsing...

listen i never said ill NEVER see an hourglass...but its not as bad as you think.

*shakes head* I've turned off all unnecessary processes and redefined the configurations and registries. I still say I would prefer something OVER 256 mb. Anything lower, and I'd probably kill myself by sharpening one of the sticks' edges and slicing my own throat.

Then how do you survive with dial up?

hehe, i never said more than 256 wasnt BETTER ... just that for web stuff, its enough.

but RE: the posts above this one - if youre on dialup, thats gonna be more of an internet killer than not having ram...

I'm not quite sure...but it's relatively easy. Once most of the images are cached, things load rather fast, and I only go to a handful of sites. I have standards, you realize. The most frustrating thing is waiting for the recently coded pages to go up on a site. I hate waiting to see if my html was correct, or if I have to shank the person who fouled it up in the first place.

And it isn't just dial-up...it's a shared line. So we have to split everything. If he starts downloading, I just kinda sit in the chat. If I download, he minimizes his workload on the net. It's give and take. I think it adds to the relationship, to be honest.

Yes, I miss the quick snap of the cable line...but eh. Living without the net, I think, would be much worse. I enjoy my friends I have online. They're more family than they'll ever know...so I sacrifice speed for my own little slice of warm bread.

*blows kisses*

I'm thinking about getting cable in just this room so that the old man can still have his RFD-TV, and we can have our high speed connection. The way I figure it, my friends at TWC get me packaged deals for cheap...so we'll see...
