ASM is not hard, it just involves a knowlage of exactly what your doing, instead of how you used to do it. It's a concept problem as aposed to anything else.

I have servers with 512MB though..

Also, like I said, swapping..

I've allocated 2.2GB without problems using FB, ofcourse my HD's went insane when allocating it :D
omfg! Imagine the possibilities for a computer with 4GB RAM, 3Terrabytes space, and an AMD FX-57 (fastest PC processor). [/quote]

Imagine the possibilities of my laptop if it had more than 8mb video memory and more than 128 megs of memory.

Ugh, it takes like 3 seconds to figure out what memory's all about. That is if someone thoroughly explains it to you.

yeah, and that everything ISNT done by the 1000, its done by the 1024. and, bytes arnt the smalles, nanobits are (they are 1/2 of a bit, I think). i think, its been a while... then its 16 bits make a byte, 1024 bytes make a kilobyte, 1024 kilos make a mega, then a giga, then tera.

Stop posting stuff that you dont know!

Really...


1) it's not 1000, nor 1024.. it's by the 8th (most often), or by powers of two

2) nanobits are just theory, in quantum computers.. they DONT exist.

3) a byte is 8 bits...

4) 1024bytes = 1KiB, not 1KB.. 1000 = kilo, 1024 = kibits, or was it kibi..
However, this is often ignored as it's generally considered sily.. and the two terms are rarely confused (you dont think 1kilogram apples = 1024grams of apples, it'a 1000.. but you live in imperial system, so what do you know.. stone, pound and feet boy)

5) kilo, mega, giga, terra



I dont get the memory 3 sec reference either..

Really? My asm tutor lied to me. Damn him. Now, to go and do what ever it is i do...
