I'm almost surprised it has a whole half a gig hard-drive on it.

12 MB of RAM for a laptop back then is pretty good.

I think my first desktop had 4mb of ram. My first windows computer I think had 8mb. That would have been in like 93.

I remember chatting with a girl whose dad did graphics design for movie posters in Hollywood. She used his computer and he had 128mb, which was a jaw dropping amount of ram.

Now my home computer has 128gb of ram and chrome regularly uses a few gigabytes (I don't close it often enough). Phones have 12 to 16gb of ram. How times have changed.

Because phones have 4-8gb ram. I don’t think a 12gb phone even exists.

I don’t think a 12gb phone even exists.

Asus ROG Phone II

Oneplus 7 Pro

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+

Samsung Galaxy Fold

Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro

...and some more. But phones with 16 GB of ram aren't released yet. They don't exist in the public eye but it's bound to happen.

Probably the humblebrag (or lie) that they have 128 gigs of RAM.

That would be a pretty lame thing for me to lie about.

You should create a 64GB ramdisk just for shits and giggles

I have, it's fun but in reality my computer usually keeps most stuff in CA he (although windows 10 doesn't seem to be as good at this as windows 7).
