[dba-Tech] A few hardware/memory questions

1. I thought the limit was around 3.5gb. I've got 2 in my pc at the moment,
and it certainly uses it all. So much so that I was thinking of putting 2
more in (as they're only $50 per gb at the moment).

2. There are various units that do both. I don't use cable, but I've seen
them advertised. I personally would recommend netgear products, as that's
what I use at home - they're pretty good, pretty reliable, and not that
pricey. I don't know what models you have available out there though.

Hi Susan

1. Wonder where you read that? I just mounted 2 GB in my old IntelliStation
where 1 GB wasn't enough to run Visual Studio.
You may have less than that if your graphics adapter uses "shared" ram (=
consumes from the normal ram). I have a high-end graphics adapter with its
own ram so Windows XP sees both my 2 GB.

2. You will probably need some domestic advice here.

1.) I'm going to upgrade my pc -- was going to go all the way to 2 gigs
until the recent conversation about Windows XP not being able to use more
than 1.2, so my question is, why pay for 2 if the system's only going to use
1.5? 

2.) Is there a modem/wireless router combo? I'm using cable Internet. If I
have to buy both, seems like someone would be making a single unit that does
both by now.
