Vista Forums - View Single Post - 64-bit: More than just the RAM

**TomW** · 05-03-2009

I upgraded to a Pentium 100 after using my first 'real' PC... a 486 w/ 2 MB of ram. My first PC was a 3000.00 IBM 8088 with, um, NO ram... lol. It had a 15 mb hard drive, 5.25" floppys were what all the software came on.
After upgrading to Windows 95, I went out to upgrade my ram from 8 to 16 mb... that extra 8 mb of ram cost me $325.00! For 8MB. Nowadays you can buy a PC with 2 GB of Ram for about the same. Remember MS saying Win95 worked great w/ 8mb of ram? And they're STILL B.S.ing us! lol...

I can't see using anything else but a 64 bit OS myself, brother. And to think I put off installing my copy of Ultimate 64 for almost two years!
