Looks like a cross between a Klein and a Teuffel Tesla. http://www.teuffel.com/english/guitars/tesla/tesla_main.htm
Is it cold in here?:
Whatever amount of storage it's economical to put in an AnthroPC is presumably equally economical in a desktop computer. The QC world seems to be ahead of ours in storage affordability.
Sidhekin:
And still Pintsize and Winslow only get 512MB and 1GB, respectively ...
Mr_Rose:
That's RAM, not storage. And apparently there are reasons beyond simple numerical superiority that make adding more, to an APC at least, inadviseable. Plus I would expect to find some sort of semi-fast store, like a SSD or something, as an intermediate between RAM and whatever long-term media they use.
bhtooefr:
I'm guessing that Pintsize and Winslow use relatively slow hard drives.
Likely 2.5" 12.5 or 17.5 mm thick drives, 5400 RPM. Based on the rough age of their respective chassis, I'd guess somewhere in the 80-250 GB ballpark in the real world, but given that Momo's old chassis has 97 TB... then again, Momo isn't necessarily representative of what Pintsize and Winslow can do.
So, the low RAM constraint keeps them hitting swap often. That'll keep the processing speed of the AI process down, if it's waiting for the HDD all the time.
