You mean printer memory? Is this what you're talking about:

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Some older printers had hard drives.  For example, Lexmark Optra R/R+/L etc. had an option for 100mb hard drive (yes, 100mb, as in, 1/10th of 1gb) drive to store fonts and forms.   Cost was $700 apparently in 1996 or so.

I also remember a hard drive option of some sort for the Canon CLC-series of colour laser copiers, circa 1991-1992 or so.  The hard drive was associated with the image processor capability.  Cost of a half decent setup was $60-$80k in 1992 or so plus consumables.

You can still get printers with hard drives today and many support hooking one up through USB. The HP OfficeJet 8040 has a 1TB hard drive included. Basically just a USB external strapped to the back of it with a short USB cable.

Weird...  Yeah the hard drives in those old printers were mainly for things such as font and form storage.  Today we don't think anything of sending 100mb to a printer over Ethernet or USB for a print job, but "back then", printers, particularly in institutions, were often wired with RS-232 or other very slow connections.  So being able to render pages without transferring the fonts and forms associated with a page was a speed-up in some limited applications.   But probably more hyped than actually used.

By looking spec sheet. But assuming that they don't have anything fancy is better.
