Well, I have always wondered why Headware and other computer memories were so bloody expensive compared to the very, VERY cheap OMC chips, well I got a reasonable explanation from Fanpro about it.
Headware and computer memory is active memory, which means that the amount you specify is the amount of total MP's you can use at the same time - that's why it is expensive. This opened up another question in my cluttered little mind, storage memory? The only reference to actual storage memory is A: Offline storage at a 5Y/MPs and the Optical Memory Chips (OMC) at a mere 0,5Y/MPs. That's all. I know that I can use implanted OMC chips as a storage medium as modified cyberware but what about actual "Storage Headware Memory" It is very seldom one actually use up all that active headware memory if you are a courier so a normal harddrive of some kind would be more fitting. What do you think? What would a realistic pricetag on such a thing be? 1/10 of the headware memory in cost? :talker: :talker: :talker: |
