No mention of RAM, but that is to be expected. The Specifications pages on Palm's web site don't even mention RAM (only ROM) for other Treos. To bad they couldn't have squeezed EVDO Rev A in there

. Anyways, good news!!

Sticky??

There is going to be I think 128mb of RAM. much better than the 30 something that came with the 600P.

This is very true! Good catch......

Palm V - 2MB Palm VX - 8MB
Palm III - 2MB Palm IIIxe - 8MB
Palm VII - 2MB Palm VIIIx - 8MB

Treo 700w - 32MB Treo 700wx - 64MB

You're thinking of ROM. RAM is going to be 64mb which is double that of the 700w (verizon).

It states right there 128mb of ROM, not RAM!

You don't "store" in RAM.

This is elementary people!

Dome · 08-19-2006, 12:16 PM

ROM: Non-volatile storage (where the OS\apps are installed). THis is like your computers hard drive. Treo 700p\700w\700wx = 128mb (~60mb not used by the OS and default apps)

RAM: Volatile random access memory. This is the temporary storage area utilized by the CPU. When programs run, they are loaded into RAM which allows direct access by the CPU. Treo 700p\700w = 32mb and Treo700wx = 64mb

NM08SRT8 · 08-19-2006, 01:16 PM

ROM = Read-Only Memory.. just FYI for people still learning!

I just picked up my 700p. The wx and P look to be identical except for the OS.

r0fl No, venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages.
