That much RAM on a 33Mhz 386DX would run OS/2 very comfortably, and you could actually use all of it. Or very early Linux distributions, of course. Imagine a Beowulf cluster of them!
- FullyFunctional 5y agoExactly. The requirement for my first personal PC was that it could run True Emacs on Linux (Sun 3 at my University had spoiled me), but I could only afford the absolute minimum: 386SX/25 MHz w/4 MiB. It was a Toshiba T1800 notebook, very nice but monochrome LCD, tiny harddrive, and not expandable. With 4 MiB I was able to try X11, but not use it in practice. 32 MiB would have been incredible.
