Well back in '95 you might have been running a 486 with a whopping 33Mhz clock speed, or a Pentium at 133Mhz if you were a baller.

Your hard drive might have been over a gig, but was most likely still measured in megs.

The entire system itself would most likely have 16MB of RAM, upgradable to 32MB for the power users.



My first Windows system was a Win 95 Pentium 75 with 8 megabytes of memory. Can't remember how big the hard drive was. At the time - coming from an Amiga with 1 megabyte - 8 megabytes seemed like an obcene amount of memory but due to the demands of that OS I pretty much instantly upgraded to 16.


Hey, you could almost double that hard drive space with DRVSPACE.EXE!
