People got a lot done in the Pentium II / III era of computing. Dell shipped 32 and 64MB of RAM as the basic standard on their lines that also offered 1Ghz CPUs at the time[1]. I think it's easy to be unaware of how vastly speed outpaced memory density at some points. It's kind of what we saw a few years ago with core counts and limitations on DDR3 and early DDR4.
