You never cease to amaze me Jeff. Huh? ---

Let’s review.

Go blow yourself Jeff. I’ve done none of the above and won’t waste my time restating what I’ve already said. Sheesh. ---

On second thought… > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Jeff Olsen_ > \*\* harped on a flip remark.\*\* Yep. Did that. Did that because Ilsa used the same techniques, tactics, what-have-you, that he/she was citing in calling Handy a moron. Had I read that comment on its own, without the context I’ve written, re-written, and written once again, I never would have said a word. Given the context though, you’re damn straight I said something. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Jeff Olsen_ > **demonstrated (willful?) ignorance on the subject.** Hardly. Or are you going to find some other website link that’s talking about 8 fucking Megs of RAM again? > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Jeff Olsen_ > **dug yourself into a hole.** Am I backtracking? Am I not standing by my initial, correct, comments? What are you fucking talking about? [quote] _Originally posted by Jeff Olsen_ **resorted to name-callling.** The shock! The horror! I called someone a moron after they called someone else, who was doing NOTHING WRONG, a moron. WHERE DOES IT END JEFF!?! > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Jeff Olsen_ > \*\* ignored a cite. I’d provide more cites but I don’t see what good it would do.\*\* The 8 Meg cite? Bwahahahaha. The way Ilsa stated it, regardless of the context, needed correction because it was vague, inaccurate, and misleading. Adding RAM, willy nilly, will not guarantee a faster computer. And AGAIN, not anything on its own to get worked up about or a reason to specifically go after a person. But put it in the context that was there, in that thread and the bash Handy thread, where Ilsa him/herself was doing the SAME THING he/she was accusing Handy of doing, and not only being a moron for doing it, and AGAIN, you’re damn straight that comment needed to get jumped on. I’d explain it all to you YET again, as I doubt even now you’ll get it, but what’s the use. Like I said Ilsa, you may not be the brightest bulb when it came to that comment, but your no match for the depths that Jeff Olsen can reach. ---

Yep. You got us pegged Einstein. You are Mother fucking Theresa, and you just can’t get it through our puny little skulls how right you are and how wrong we are. I admit my first post in the handt thread was over the top. I stand by my statement that more RAM will increase system efficiency in ~70% of all cases. You have always ignored my first response to your first post. I hesitate to state that I’ve forgotten more about computers than you know, as you may have a shred of knowledge, but dim bulb about computers I ain’t, bro. Fluffi Bunni I’m not, but I can code HTML by hand in Notepad and build a box from scratch. I’ll say it again: let’s drop it. ---

there’s a sure fire way to ‘drop it’ ya know - stop posting. this advice is free. and should be taken by both the major participants IMHO. ---

Here’s more recent [cite](http://www.smu.edu/help/newsletter/July2003/RAM.htm) demostrating the perfomance increases in going from 128 to 512 MB: > [@](#): > > With the Windows XP Operating System, increased RAM makes a significant difference, even with slower processor machines. For example, a Pentium III 550 MHz desktop with 512 Mb RAM outperforms a 1.5 GHz desktop with 128 Mb RAM and is just about the same, performance wise, as a Pentium IV 1.5 GHZ with 256 Mb RAM. Again, admittedly not relevant to the OP of the GQ thread, but telling, nevertheless. **CnoteChris** should admit that even now, RAM _can_ in many situations improve performance. ---

It is, however, relevant to handy’s question and my response. ---
