    Very cool. Really takes you back, and maybe gain some more appreciation for how long we've come!

    "MMX technology". There was a time I drooled over that phrase.

    Thanks again for the post, what a trip. Looking at "Product details" for some really antique machines.

    LOL.... Brings back fond memories of the first machine I bought when I got to the States to study back in '96. A DELL Dimension XPS. The first machine built with a Pentium 200Mhz. I was a speed demon in its days. :D

    the interesting one is
    and
    from 1997. Exactly 10 years later, we have the option for 4GB RAM in Inspirons.

    RAM capacity has equaled the disk capacity from 10 years ago. Are we going to have 1TB ram DIMMs in consumer laptops by 2017? And Bill Gates predicted that 640KB will be enough for most users.

    Ha, perhaps misattributed? Or perhaps just Gates covering up...
