> Diablo II had just come out in 2000 which had a 450Mhz Pentium III and 64 MB of RAM. 64MB of RAM was probably mid-tier at the time
I like to use Google books to refer to old issues of PC Magazine.
For $1999 in Feburary 1999, you could get the Pentium 450MHz desktop with 128GB of memory.
That said, I could do almost everything I do today on a similar machine back then. Surf the web, admin Linux servers, web development, edit video, play games, Photoshop, IRC, type papers...

128MB ram... Your hard disk could be upgraded to 12.8GB of total space for an extra $50.
Also, you get this _sweet_ 8MB nVidia 3d graphics card!

Damn capitalism taking us from that to a $699 MacBook Neo.
128MB of memory, not 128GB.
