<p>ty for all repliess</p>
<p>I think the 84 is, uh, silver...</p>
<p>TI83 and TI84 all do the exact same thing except the TI84 Silver is the fastest and have more memory.</p>
<p>The TI 84 silver edition comes w/ some more features. I forgot what they were though. Except I know that there's the periodic table.</p>
<p>the TI-84+ Silver lets you donate more money to Texas Instruments.</p>
<p>the only important stuff i needed my TI-83+ for in high school was:</p>
<ol>
<li>fnInt</li>
<li>Finding zeroes</li>
<li>Stat functions</li>
</ol>
<p>I don't think I ever used any of the cool special stuff that the TI-83+ silver had (except maybe the tetris function during econ). If I were you, I'd try to get (in the following order):</p>
<ol>
<li> Ti 83+</li>
<li> " silver</li>
<li>TI 84+</li>
<li>" silver</li>
</ol>
<p>the marginal cost of an extra 50 bucks (this is a guess, i have no idea how much more these cost than TI-83s) is not worth a slightly faster processer, and a bunch of programs you'll never use.</p>
<p>The silver has more memory.</p>
<p>kinda off topic but i hear ti-89's can solve algebraic problems..thats sick</p>
<p>THe Ti-84 silver weighs a bit more. ( uber bored in chem)</p>
<p>Well, I guess the point is:</p>
<p>There is nothing that a TI84 Silver can do that any other 83/84 can't, it's all about what software you have installed. The TI84 doesn't have a periodic table "feature", it just comes preloaded with a lot of programs, one of which is a periodic table. <a href="http://ticalc.org%5B/url%5D">http://ticalc.org</a> has a huge archive of programs, so if you want a periodic table, you can definitely find one easily.</p>
