I ran Windows NT 4.0 on a DX2/66 -- with 32GB of RAM.
The RAM cost about $750 from a Silicon Valley importer. 1994. That was during a crisis in worldwide memory availability, caused at least in part by a fire that destroyed the only factory that made a chemical required by the semiconductor industry.
Our current supply chain crisis seems worse, but it isn't the first.

- Koshkin 4y ago> 32GB of RAM It’s funny how our fingers have lost the ability to type “MB of RAM.”
- watersb 4y ago:-) Megabytes. Yes. Oops. I just bought some old Xeon CPUs on eBay that have 32 MB of cache. They cost rather less than $750.
