Blast from the past

pfft... i still remember when their P133 was king of the hill, beating out more expensive P150's. Shortly after we bought a P233, with MMX!
 
That's a stupid machine.
We got a P3 600MHz that was high end and it had 256MB RAM and a 34GB HDD. That one has a pitiful 128MB RAM.
 
Wow, blast from the past. When computer manufacturers sold you everything but the kitchen sink with your computer.
 
LOL, that's a good one.

In a semi-related topic, I found an old review on the net for a Hercules 3D Prophet 4000XT on the net not long ago, I loved that card when I had one. 🙁

I remember way back when their (Rambus) stock was at like $400. I can't remember if that was before or after they started suing everyone and their mother.
 
rdram was hideously expensive

my dell 700 mhz p3 with a geforce 256 and P991 cost way less than that. and that was well before rdram came out.

I've got a HP Kayak at work with dual P3 800's and a gig of RD Ram. I'm guessing the ram is worth more than the rest of the computer!

That makes me want to break out some old Computer Shopper magazines I have around here from the early 90's and scan in some ads. You think that price is high considering what you were getting I can remember when a midrange machine was $3000 and a "high end" machine was in the range of $4500-6000. :Q
