200MB for a desktop sounds massive to some of us :D

Back in the day I used to have a desktop running, with applications, in just 512KB. Getting that memory upgrade to a full 1MB was amazing.





Yup, fond memories of my Amiga 500+ (full meg, woo!)

Or the Atari ST! I have one at home with 1 MB of RAM in it and it still flies. Boots up in less than a few seconds, which is faster than any of my modern PCs.

And for many scenarios people use their computers for, it would still be enough today.

Of chip RAM, too!
