As do I, on a 166MHz MMX with a whopping 64MB of RAM.
First computer I bought with my own money, pored over computer magazines for weeks to figure out how to get the best bang for my buck.
Ended up with a Matrox Millenium 4MB graphics card with a 3dfx Voodoo on top, if memory serves.
The budget was maxed out to the extent that the owner of the shop I purchased all the parts at agreed to drive me the two miles back to the ferry home as I had no money for a taxi.
Good times.
- mrguyorama 2y agoWhy so much RAM? My Windows 95 computer had 32mb of RAM and even that was overkill.

Also, I think what made me pull the trigger was that RAM prices unexpectedly dropped by quite a lot just as I was about to buy, so I probably figured I might as well do a little future proofing.
