    As fast as the user can write to and read from a piece of paper.

    I seriously doubt that a human could do it that fast.

    5MB = 5,242,880 bytes = 41,943,040 bits.
    1 week = 168 hours = 604,800 seconds.

    5 MB a week would be 69.4 bits per second, or writing nearly 70 characters per second on a piece of paper.

    You could write maybe 400 KB a week if you're extremely quick, and that's 24/7 with no sleep/meal stops.

    Nope. 69.4 bits per second = 8 characters per second roughly.





    5mb = 5242880 bytes
    1 week = 604800 seconds

    1 character in computing is typically 1 byte (although 2 byte character sets are also common)

    5242880 / 604800 = 8.67 characters per second.

    RAM is written in binary, so you'd have to write 0's and 1's.

    If you were to write in alphanumeric characters, then 5MB a week is actually possible.

    RAM is addressed in bytes.

    You'd still write bytes in binary. Hexadecimal at best. An ASCII 1-byte character set includes many characters you couldn't write on paper (NUL, EOL to name some).

    Every ascii character has an escape sequence corresponding with it.

    If you can only write in multiples of 8 bits, its quicker to write the ascii character or in the case of the non printables, the 2 ascii characters (NUL for example is \0). Why would I write 01000001 instead of @


    DDR SDRAM is actually written an entire 64 bits at a time,SIMULTANEOUSLY. It is a 64 bit parallel interface. It is not written a single bit at a time.

    Yeah, but you can't write 64 bits simultaneously :p
    Writing in ASCII would make 5MB a week possible though.

    YES! On the way to Savannah, and someone leaked us the WiFi password. Speedtest won't ping so that's not a good sign. Now the network is remembered in my laptop, fun can be had, I guess. I have to try to avoid things because it's a school trip and it doesn't have filters. Reddit is as NSFW as I'm getting. But let me tell ya, it is fucking slow.

    The protests are happening 450 kilometres away from their hq, so don't worry

    lol, TPU tested the TITAN X's VRAM to see if games actually use all that VRAM. The card has 12gb in total. 3rd and 4th were dead rising 3 and watchdogs, with just over 4GB, 2nd was Shadow of Mordor with 5.3GB used, and 1st was CoD AW using almost 7.3GB. :rolleyes:
