I remember that as a common saying in the glory days of the mainframe!
Today I am typing this on an AMD64 with half a terabyte of disk storage and one Gigabyte of RAM storage!
Never thought it would happen!

Same here. 1GB of PC3200 RAM and only 160GB of drive space on a pair of 80GB 7200 Maxtors. ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video however. Smokin'....

I love AMD. We've been using them for quite awhile. Hubby doesn't like Intel for some reason.

No kidding. The numbers are unreal. I started out about 15 years ago with a 10 mhz 286 and a 40 mb hd. Now that had wouldn't be enough ram to write a letter to grandma. We've certainly learned to hog every new addition to our resources.
I also remember reading in EETIMES about 15 years ago that 33-50 mhz was the max they would get out of CMOS. Now we are around 3ghz.
