Hi. I am playing a hermetic mage and want to have his Sorcery library level 6 on a computer. The SR source book 167 states that a level6 library would take 36,000 Mp to store (rating * rating * 1,000 Mp).
If I am getting a desktop computer to hold this information then what rating of a computer do I need. How do you calculate storage space on for a computer that is not a deck?? I starting doing for math on this and the numbers started getting above 500,000 nuyen for 36,000 Mp memory cost. Is this right?? I hope not because I have two other libraries I need to store on a computer as well(total of three libraries) at level 6 rating. That would mean a 1+ million computer system. Thanks for the help. |
