Funny you did not put the 512MB option. I thought it was a pretty much common configuration.

Considering that it weighs 1,000 tons, it can't be much more advanced than an ENIAC. Though, replacement vacuum-tubes probably take up half the weight.

So true. Our engineers have reduced the weight substantially by leaving the glass off of the tubes and mounting the sockets outside of the ship hull. As long as you stay in space the computers work just fine. Very Happy

We tried substituting the tubes with germanium transistors but that really killed our colony growth. Very Happy

Grrr! No 512 option. That means I have to add, or *gulp* subtract to find out which "most closely resembles my configuration".
Mmmm, let's see...

768-512=256 Confused

512-384=

this is too hard! Someone put the 512 option in please!

I'M NOT AN EXPERT AND I'M OFTEN PROVEN WRONG. TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU READ MY POSTS.
Math? Confused

Sorry, I think its a bit late to put 512 in as an option, since (at this time) 40 people have already voted. I'd pick the next lowest one, as its closer to the average.
