TI-83+ Silver Edition Shipping
Posted by Eric on 4 May 2001, 22:06 GMT

Welp, slowly but surely, the long-awaited new TI-83+ Silver Edition calculators are starting to go live. As with most everything else nowadays, your best bet (if you're *that* anxious for one) is to buy online. So far, from what I've heard, the non-profit calc.org is selling them for $127, and Global Products has them for $129.95 (note: we are not affiliated with either of these sites nor are we endorsing them in any way). Lots of other online retailers will probably offer them soon as well, and eventually maybe they'll pop into your local electronics store too. Anyone have one already? Post about it below.

VERY good question, my AP will be in 2 days, and well, i'm gonna do badly mostly because i really didn't do anything in that class, so i could use any help i can use (before you start flaming me for not doing anything and telling me how easy AB calc is, i do realize I'm a pathetic loser who's to lazy to do his work)

Wouldn't the faster processor just get slowed down a lot to do screen copies?

It still executes the stuff between the screen updates faster, meaning you can have more complex code there with the same framerate.
And if you need really high performance, you could integrate the screen update with your algoritms, doing usefull stuff instead of just delaying stuff in the delays.
with the SE there should be quite a lot of "free time" in the delays...

Interrupts on the 83+S

Because of the faster processor, does anyone know if the faster processor increases the interrupt rate (200Hz)?

I haven't tested the interrupt rate on my SE yet, but it should be the same. I believe interrupts are independent of the processor speed.

Josh Niezgoski  Account Info

I ordered my Ti-83 Plus Silver Edition last Thursday about 11:00 PM Central Time, I'm probably getting this Thursday or Wenesday.. But... I have the orginal TI-83 Plus, and it has 24k on RAM, and 146k on achieve memory. Does the Silver Edition have 1,500k on it?
How fast it again? lol, I should be asking this before I buy it, but I was so excited to buy it!

It is possible to switch cases, provided that the screw holes are in the same places (which I'm sure they are). I actually once instructed someone on how to do a TI-89 to TI-83+ Case Switch (because the 89 was banned for their tests). But if you do switch, be sure to backup anything you want to keep.

P.S. I agree, it would have been nice if TI gave you an option on the case colors. Personally I don't mind the translucent look, but I don't like that extra white look. Maybe like a smoke color would be nice. And of course the option of the old plain black.

I was thinking about getting a se tomorrow. And I was wondering, are you allowed to use the se on SAT tests and such, and also can you transmit programs fluently from the TI-83 plus, and TI-83 plus se? All my friends and I have have +...
