I was reading a thread on here about upgrading a 2004 PC and the OP was told that it had seen its better day. -- This reminded me of when I worked in an a computer store in 1992. We had a PC that had 2 MB (not GB) of RAM and the CPU was 50 mhz. It was illegal to transport out of the US due to its high performance capabilities. It seems hard to believe now................

I had 64 Megs of memory on my first Windows computer. This was in late 1995.

Memory cost me a little over US $1200.

Had a 128MB RAM on my first computer, my father bought it on '03, has XP installed on it, still here but sadly it's not working anymore :(, trying to fix it but I don't know what the problem is.
