The Classpad 330 had 512kb of RAM, so the Prizm's should be at least that or more.

I'm guessing you accidentally put your new post in the quotes.  Nice to meet you! (to Tresio)

I think I read somewhere that with certain heavy duty batteries it can last 250 hours.

fb39ca: so I guess it's just 61k for casio-basic programming, and more for ASM (or so I really hope)

Ah nice. I wonder how it will be when playing games (if they're possible). Hopefully it will be better than the Nspire. The TI-Nspire used to be 10x worse than it used to be, though. With OS 1.6 in 84+ mode I spent a set of batteries in one week while on OS 1.7 it would last 2.

Yeah, it gets the 250hr figure with alkalines.
I don't think it'll be banned on the tests, otherwise it would lower sales.

true.  Their battery tests say that they tested it on the main screen for equations, so games might take double the power (or something).

Quesstimate: it'll last an average of 90 hours when playing constant games

It's also been aproved for all the tests already.

edit: "With Casio, academic achievement never looked so good. The new fx-CG10/PRIZM is approved for use on the ACT, PSAT, SAT and AP Exams."
if it's approved on all those exams, i doubt the math functions are as helpful as a nSpire CAS or TI 89, though.

The Prizm is definitely a non-CAS calculator.  Ignoring programming for a moment, and considering only the out-of-the-box calculation capabilities, it's very difficult to compare Prizm and TI-89, because they have very different intended purposes.  Similarly with NSpire CAS (though NSpire non-CAS would allow a more fair comparison).

yeah, so I think the Prizm is more based on the fact it's got the color screen and probably superior graphing capabilities rather than a CAS (which could be a project for us programmers to create :D)

Yeah - noticed that a few seconds after I posted.  Sorry - it's fixed now.

And thanks for the greeting - I was searching the web for Prizm info, and found your forums!  (Wish these had existed when I was in high school programming the TI-81...)

Nah TI is not discontinuing the whole line. If you read in the latest pages of the 84+ topic, you'll see that it is only in Germany and Swiss, as well as a few other european countries. However, if TI decides to change their mind and discontinue it everywhere in a near future, they're pretty much screwed.

It's only a matter of time.  That's the beginning of the end for the 84.  Same process happened with the 85 and 86, despite major protestations and signed petitions by teachers.

nooooooooo!  :P
if everyone leaves, TI will become more corrupt, and we will never "domesticate" then.  XD
and plus, if Casio succeeds, well, lets just say every successful company will want to take advantage of blind custumers.  (teachers)  ;)

61Kb of RAM really? It is going to need 162Kb if video RAM just to display a full screen picture.

Well, apparently not, because it has 30+ pre-loaded images and flipbook-like image-sequences.  Part of the beauty of a high-res screen is the ability to superimpose mathematics directly on top of image files.
