Well. 8-bit is actually 256.
When unsigned it's value range is 0 to 255.

Surprised I missed your pun though.

Signed should be -128 to 127 I think

Indeed.

X1 is definitely much slower at installs.

That is because it actually dumps the entire disc to the hard drive.
More data = Longer installs.
There are advantages to each approach.

I make threads about whatever I want whenever I want. And who are you to say what I'll or will not play when you know nothing about it?

You don't need to justify yourself.

LOL I'm just happy to have DSL.  I live out in the country and keenly remember the days of dial up.  If they hadn't gotten me DSL my next best option would have been satellite and I probably would have given up on gaming.

Yeah...that’s what you get for preferring the Yoda lifestyle I guess ;) although we still have areas like that here as well..I always find it puzzling that in Scandinavia even in the far away Finnish Tundra you get high speed wi-if access but the biggest industry nations on earth are unable to do something like this for their people. 

I remember a time when DSL never existed... And Cable was just a pipedream.
I started life back on a 14.4kbps dial-up modem.

In Australia they are rolling 25Mbps fixed wireless to allot of regional areas and ditching DSL completely while more built-up areas are getting 100Mbps VDSL or Fiber.

But mostly such disparities exist because DSL gets slower due to signal attenuation on the copper cable, you are only good for a couple miles/kilometers from the DSLAM... So plopping them down all through an entire continent gets expensive very fast.
It is not an issue shared by dial-up. - In-fact my VDSL provider offers me a free 56k backup dial-up service in case my VDSL goes offline. (But with my 4G phone getting about 80Mbps on a good day, doubt I will need it.)

Same issue exists for wireless too, the farther you are away from a tower, the weaker the signal gets, the slower your speed becomes, although it's range is typically far larger than DSL and doesn't require fixed lines into the residences homes, so costs are significantly reduced.

Satellite is just shit though. I would have rather paid extra and gone IDSN. It's better than dial up, not as good as basic DSL.
