As I said in my post... 'your english'. I now see what your saying, but it remains completely unintelligible.

When we are talking about ram storage. Yes, to a point speed matters- but if the ram is actually unable to store enough information at a time, it doesn't matter.

First of all, chill-out, it's a forum. Next, your english requires alot of revision, please realise that this is not an online game, or an AOL chatroom, you have time to actually type out 'You', 'Your', and actually capitalize 'I'.

Don't forget that sentences shouldn't start with "and", realise is actually spelled "realize", and grammer isn't so important as long as you can understand what a person is trying to convey.

That may be true in American, but it isn't the case in English.

Writers often use sentences starting with "And". And the spelling of realise is only with a 'z' using American spelling which is actually a bastardization of English.

Exactly what I think!

The word that's been changed that always annoys me when coding is color, it's colour, but this is an arguement for another place on another day

Speaking of Engrish....

I live and work in China. My very favorite is a sign on the security doors in our office:
