dezt Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 just been emailed this link Mac future development Can you imagine a Mac running 16Tb of RAM, what would you need that amount of RAM for, unless you are running something like Vista that eats resources for fun.
FN-GM Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Can you imagine a Mac running 16Tb of RAM, what would you need that amount of RAM for What was the quote from bill gates? “640k ought to be enough for anybody”
Dafty Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I would imagine that the 16Tb of RAM would apply, mainly to the server versions.
srochford Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I would imagine that the 16Tb of RAM would apply, mainly to the server versions. Maybe, but it's basically just trying to be future proof. the first "server" I used was a BBC B with 32kB of RAM and dual floppy discs. The first "proper" server had a 20Mb hard disc. Now those figures are just laughable and it's possible to have 16Tb of disc space and I'm sure you could have terabytes of RAM if you have the money. Who knows what we'll need tomorrow!

Dafty Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 True! Top end Mac Pro's now can come with a massive 32Gb of RAM!
