damn i feel too young...can't remember the specs of my parent's dos-based computers in the mid 90's

but my first computer was circa 2001/2002
AMD Athlon 1.3GHz
Geforce 2 MX 64MB GDDR
512MB DDR1 Ram
40GB HDD
15" NEC LCD monitor...damn those things were $500 on sale..but still kicking around.
x86 win XP
the thing can probably still run basic word processing/browsing/surfing if it was still alive today.

I remember when single-GPU high end ATI cards go for $800+

I also recall when my high school had a new computer lab...P4 computers with 15" flatscreen monitors!!! It was the only room that had air con at school to cool off those nice computers lol
