yeah, i know. those 32k baud modems pwned. I once downloaded a 100k porn .gif in like 2 minutes. it was great quality too.

40 MB HDD and 7MB RAM

40/7=5.71 to 1 HDD to RAM
150/2=75 to 1 HDD to RAM

Why would you need 7 mb of ram with only a 40mb HD?

Wrong question.

How on earth did they get 7 megs of RAM?

That's actually a more valid question.

**lapInsalm** · 02-20-2007, 11:31 PM

I remember when I upgraded from 4 megs to 8 megs of ram. full throttle ran so much better.

I remember going from 3.5k to 19.5k on my commodore VIC-20. Do I win?

No!

I had a ZX81 which had a grand total of 1K memory built in, plus a 16K RAM pack add on.

ZX-81 ftw!

When you think about the way they could get a decent game of Galaxians out of 3.5k it makes you think about just how bloated everything has become.

i had to use a match stick to stop ram pack wobble

**osteoftex** · 02-21-2007, 03:55 AM

my 386 had 3 megabytes of ram 3 1 megs sticks

8 megs with 1 dedicated to video? therefore 7 for ram?

**ViaplyVuple** · 02-21-2007, 04:35 AM

I used Blu-Tack.

**Cheeniandab** · 02-21-2007, 09:12 AM

My Amiga just started to fly when I installed that extra 512k of RAM. And you could enable/disable it too.

8MB RAM for 386 systems wasnt anything special though. We got our 8MB with with the PC when it upgraded it from 286SX. Heck, back then you could keep the same motherboard for like 5 years or so and still have the best CPU in your PC.

Not back in those days, 1MB for video would have been serious overkill.
