- icedchai 1y agoThat's pretty cool. I know 32 megs was technically possible with the right boards, I just didn't know any normal person that had one. I had an A3000 with 5 megs (4 megs fast, 1 megs chip) and I thought it was bad ass for the time.
- kstrauser 1y agoI had a CyberstormPPC with a 604e/200MHz and a 68060/50MHz, and 128MB of RAM onboard. There was also a DKB3128 with another 128MB of RAM. “Big” Amigas weren’t common, but they definitely existed. Oh, and I was a college student at the time.
- rasz 1y agoCyberstormPPC was $1000 when it came out in 1997. Thats more than Pentium 200, good motherboard, case, sound card, graphics and 3Dfx accelerator. 128MB was $400-800 and not even top end systems shipped with that much.
