Old enough to remember when that was a good amount of RAM for a PC.

    Eight megabytes and continuously swapping. ;)

    Weird that we used to have to use paging memory but Windows still felt way faster back then.

    At one point I was running BeOS on a Pentium 75 with 16MB RAM, later upgraded to a K6-2 266 with 128MB. Those machines, particularly the K6-2, felt faster than anything else I've ever used, and was better at certain things than any other computer I've ever used.
