The TI-84 Plus (there is no plain TI-84) is a graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments that came out spring 2004. It is an enhanced version of the TI-83 Plus. The key-by-key correspondence is the same, but has been improved hardware-wise. The memory is about 3 times as large, and CPU about 1.5 times faster (over the TI-83 and TI-83 Plus). It is essentialy a jazzier version of the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition.
The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition came out in 2004 as an upgrade to the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition. Like the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, it features a 15 MHz Zilog Z80 processor, 24 kB user available RAM (the actual chip is 128 kB, but TI has yet to code support for the whole thing into an OS), and 1.5 MB Flash ROM. New features added were a built-in USB port which was meant to speed up transfers, a built in clock, changeable faceplates, and a kickstand.
There are three different types of programs which can be downloaded or programmed into it: TI-BASIC, z80 Assembly language, and Flash (applications). There are a wide range of applications that this produces, from science classes, to games, to calculus to notetaking (when put together with a separately sold keyboard). The TI-84 Plus Series is exactly like its predecessor in that it can be used on the ACT Examination. However in some cases those administering the exam may reset the calculator's memory before-hand to prevent cheating through the use of built in programs or other data.
