I just doubled the RAM in my desktop computer.
 

Now I've got 8mb's or RAM BABY!

Top that, bitches. :glugglug

I think I'm gonna move to a 40mb hard drive if I can afford it next month.

I remember my first "IBM compatible" when I doubled the RAM to 4 MB

I've got something else to RAM...

yes, but do you VGA?

Wow, I bet it boots up in less then 7 minutes now!!!

It is funny to see people complain about a slow computer when they dont realize the work that the puter is actually doing,

A guy hooked a computer to a piano, and ran a program to watch for keystrikes on the keyboard. The puter was a 64mb of ram with like a 1 gig hard drive. slow as hell by todays standards.

He started the program, and then hit on key as fast as he could. the program was checking the keys more than 30k times between strikes.

Imagine.

David Copperfield mud wrestling...

Are we back to 1990?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

now youre just teasin him

I remember theses days... 8megs of ram was the shit.

Right now 4000 is OK.

might be little but hope it makes a big difference!

mi Commodore has had about 2 mb

smaller was better the programs were written much tighter than today.

This thread has really reminded me how cheap things have gotten, especially micro drives and compact flash.

In 2002 i bought a 1gig micro drive for close to 400 bucks if i remember correctly.

Yesterday I bought a 2gig for 99 bucks!

I need floppy disk 2 to Windows 3.1

nice classic discussion here..

sorry i just upgraded to win 95

I wish I had an 8086 aswell:(

I was so sure there'd be a jpg of Aaron's laptop with a double-shot of Ram on the screen in this thread.

:D :D

I was thinking a couple of blowup dolly sheep would be sitting on top of his dual monitors!

what is this MB that you speak of? I have only dealt with GB and TB

Don't keep animals in my computer - the ram is being productive with the sheep outside.

I remember a friend bigging up his 16kb memory upgrade on his ZX81, a 160% increase on the 1kb that came with it.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The aforemention IBM with the 2gb RAM had a 125 MB HDD, Windows 3.0, dot matrix printer, 12" monitor and a mouse . . . cost like $3,300

I got a DKB-3128 Zorro-3 card for my A4000. Now I can put 128MB into it.. if only I had the $3,000 for 128MB :(

Exactly.

Many years ago I worked for a computer store. I remember people lining up to buy the 32mb chips that were going on sale for $699.00

I also remember my dad building computers back around 1991 or so. $1.00 per mb was a good price for a Western Digital drive.

I picked up another 2gb for my video puter today. It was under $200.

Unreal.

LOL Did anyone here own a "zip drive"

thats 1600% actually:1orglaugh :winkwink:

i wish we could go back in time like that...

I've still got 2 or 3 of them lying around.

It is indeed, teach me to post before filling up on caffeine :1orglaugh

:Oh crap :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

how do your cga sized webpages look like ?

fuck that.. I'm not going back to my P75 with 8mb of ram, a 2mb Trident video card and an 800mb hard drive lol.. Ya, to some that's way more powerful than what they had, but if I had to go back to that from my current Pentium D 940 3ghz, 2gigs of dual channel ddr2 ram, 200gig hard drive a Geforce 7800GT with 256mb ram I'd kill myself haha

I hardly remember when i was printing out hot pics on my 8 needles dot matrix printer in the middle of the night.... My mom sometimes woke up and asked what the hell i'm doing :-)
