TI 89 or 89 Ti???
« Reply #15 on: November 27, 2007, 09:06:00 am »
The HW4 does run faster, I think it's due to improved data buses, not a new processor. My 89TI runs visibly faster than my Voyage 200 which is supposed to be 12Mhz, although the 89TI still has some bugs within the OS. If you have the HW3 Patch installed and have just finished playing a game (i found this out with Oblivion and Doom, so I think it's just a fat engine thing, not one particular game) and you do a minimum or maximum regression from the graph screen, and mismatch the bounds, it'll crash, all on it's own, and the little black bar at the top will say ====Bound==== and it does nothing until you reset it.

I found this out while playing Oblivion before math class in the 11th or 12th grade. And more recently it happened after testing Doom, also right before math class. So I had to reset it using the hot keys during class. :/confused.gif

I've also heard the 89 HW1 has a better LCD and LCD hardware bus.

so the only difference is the price and the amount of memory... sweet.... I think I'll go with the Titanium due to the amount of awesome games I have seen so far.... If I get one at all that is.... Its what I want for Christmas! lol....

Any ideas on how to convince my parents that a sophmore in high school needs TWO calculators? hehehe... This could be interesting!

The only thing I have so far is UIL general math lets us use them (and that would help a ton!!! ) and I need SOMETHING worth some cash for Christmas and that's what I chose... whatever....
Thanks for all the replies! --Mecha

No... Don't do it... Go for the regular 89.  :Dbiggrin.gif

I do not know of any games or applications that are specific to the 89 Titanic.

Yea, I'd go with the original 89 myself. Their aren't really any huge advantages with the titanium. Listen to the Ranman !^_^

My Casio pwns you all.

Anyway, I'd go with the 89 for your criteria.

-Play games
All BASIC games work between the two, more ASM is compatible with the regular 89. Now in terms of the memory, well, the 89 has a lot anyway.

-Do math
89 == 89T in terms of math functions

-Program
89 == 89T in terms of programming as well

 I'm not so sure about that...

Unless you are talking about the Casio fx-9860g Slim. That is one cool calculator -- much cooler than anything that TI has right now!

I didn't notice this before.  For any math class below Calc 3, an 89 is WAY overkill.  You won't need even a fraction of its capabilities, and they aren't allowed on any standardized test.

I have 4 calculators right now. 2 TI-83+, 1 TI-83+SE and 1 TI-89 Titanium. One of the 83+ has no more link port though because it got unsoldered with the time

Sounds like this is pretty unanimous.... Ok. If there's not much difference, then I guess I should go with the cheaper one... LOL. Thanks for all the input!!!!
