Wow, this new/old Mac Pro actually has an upgraded processor as well, and 32GB of RAM. Thirty-two muthafucken gigabytes. Almost twice as much RAM. I was sad when Bessie died, but her replacement will do just fine.

(Actually, I wasn’t calling it “Bessie.”)

I don’t think I have a computer in the house that has more than 8GB. Mrs. Fish’s gaming tower might have 16; I don’t remember. It’s one of the things I’ve been in the habit of cheaping out on, but I probably shouldn’t since RAM is generally the critical consumable these days. (My work laptop has 16GB and even that’s not enough; I could actually do with 64, for some of the things I have had to do.)
