“Only” 8MB. Oh, you sweet summer child. I remember when 8MB seemed like so much of an upgrade from my previous computer, which had 256k. And the one with 256k had a full hurricane tracker running on it.

With how many colors, what resolution, and how many features?

How many colors? Why that hurricane tracker could display a glorious 16 colors at a time! And an astounding 64000 pixels! And if I borrowed my friend's modem, we could dial up the local Sears to get the latest storm info at a blazing 300baud! Truly, it was an amazing machine.

Old enough to remember when that was a good amount of RAM for a PC.

Eight megabytes and continuously swapping. ;)

Weird that we used to have to use paging memory but Windows still felt way faster back then.

At one point I was running BeOS on a Pentium 75 with 16MB RAM, later upgraded to a K6-2 266 with 128MB. Those machines, particularly the K6-2, felt faster than anything else I've ever used, and was better at certain things than any other computer I've ever used.
