Huh?
I just saw this description on Circuit City’s site.. for a 128mb RAM module…
Have you ever fallen asleep waiting for your computer to upload or download files? With the 256MB PC133 SDRAM desktop memory chip from Centon, you won’t have time to doze off anymore. This one chip can significantly reduce your wait time and increase your productivity. Guess you’ll have to catch up on your sleep during that office meeting instead. Just don’t let your boss catch you!
Riiiiiiiight. ‘Cause RAM helps you upload and download files from the internet faster… That has nothing to do with modem speed or anything….

This is “special” RAM, for “special” people.
That’s fuckin’ funny.
Wow. That’s great. I’m going to run right over and get one for my 286. That’ll really make it fly like a Pentium.
Then again, as I swapped computers and hadn’t added more RAM to the new powerbook, it took forever to “upload” all my old crap from CDs, just as it took a long time to “download” files from my old PC to the floppy and ZIP drives.
Technically, uploading and downloading are not web-specific terms: “To transfer (data or programs), usually from a peripheral computer or device to a central, often remote computer.”
