I just installed an additional 1GB RAM to my existing 512mb on my cheap beater laptop I use here at work to access Bikeforums and this thing now runs ten times faster! I've never owned anything this fast before! :p :beer:

Does this mean you'll be on here all day long?

hell yes! fast response time too....see... :D

why, yes, George, that was surprisingly fast

See if you can get your daily posts up to 20...;):)

Remember, it's not about being fast. It's about making it last.

Wait...you already are at 8 and if you are now 10 times faster I expect 80 daily posts from you...:p




...on a fixed bike no gears either...:)

Remember, it's not about being fast. It's about making it last.

When you get to our age, being fast is better than nothing.




:p :D

So if I install 1GB of RAM in my crankset, does that mean I'll go 10 times faster?

All I know is that this cheap component upgrade I made on my laptop wins hand down in performance than any upgrade I've ever made on my bike, regardless of cost. :D

Upgrading computer memory is very "instant gratification", isn't it? And memory is cheap compared to many other upgrades...




EDIT...and easy to do it yourself...:)

EDIT...and easy to do it yourself...:)Yeah, even a dumb klutz like me was able to install it in like 5 minutes and I've never done this before. :D

Well, you are happy now but just wait a few weeks. Then you'll want carbon fiber RAM and then after that you'll want to upgrade your mouse wheel to aero versions. It never stops.

nah.....I would rather just get a mac and get done with it. :p

Yay for you! You just saved yourself a lot of time and money. Kinda like doing some bike repair yourself...

Now you can upgrade memory for your friends, too...:D;)

When you get to our age, being fast is better than nothing. :p :D

Plus, if it takes too long you may forget what you were doing.:D

Great upgrade George, 512 is barely enough to keep the operating system running.

Now you can upgrade memory for your friends, too...:D;)

They're doing fine, most of them are a lot younger than I so they're not too forgetful.

Can you help me put one of those in my bike?:D
