I paid £350 for a 3Gb drive around that time. Ridiculous now when you think about it. This is why I'm not an early adopter of anything any more

I must have been later than you lot, I had 233mhz with a turbo button and I think I may have breached double figure hard drive space.

I hadn't actually, it was 8 gig.

i remember when doom 2 played in hi res mode on my mates PC because it had a DX math co processor

i had to upgrade to 2mb ram to get doom 2 to work

also had to play around with EMM and XMS extended memory, the joys of config.sys and autoexec.bat
