I remember when going from 4MB of RAM to 8MB was a big deal...

I'm trying to remember what size mine was. Got it from Sears in 1994.

My first Web server - I built it on NT 3.51 (Yeah, I know...) on a 486DX2/66 with 16MB RAM, httpd32 and a 1GB SCSI drive. Good times...

In college, we had to reserve blocks of time for video editing on the "special computer" that had 1GB. It still took 1-2(?) hours to process/export a 15 minute video, but that was impressive to us.

"The Apple Macintosh Performa 6300CD features a 100 MHz PowerPC 603e processor, 16 MB of RAM, a 1.2 GB hard drive, and a 4X CD-ROM drive in a compact desktop case. This model also shipped with a 15" Apple color monitor." That was the first computer I used to develop Web content.

I remember that 1.6 gig hd was about $700. My first dx2/50 had a 420MB hd. Gateway 2000 Dude.

And, I think we paid an extra 200-300 dollars for an extra 4mb of RAM to 8megs.

Geez, Rodfather: 11MB. Morrow HD11. My first computer--on which I wrote my first published book--had no HD: two 360K diskettes, true floppies. That huge hard disk *was* a big deal.
