Quote: The amount of RAM that one can address is far more an issue for high-end servers than for laptops. I think you are right in most cases Sivar, although 3D modelling, animation, video and rendering apps will also...

Great link Sivar. It actually convinced me to once again sit the fence I would buy the 8:55 from Voodoo *if* I *knew for a fact* that I would be able to, at some future point, upgrade to 2GB RAM and 128MB of VRAM. I suppose I...
