MB surpassing MB
Authored by: marcinjeske on May 21, '02 02:48:46AM

It's really scary to think about how fast memory and storage is moving.

My first Mac, a Mac SE:
20 MB HD, 256K RAM, VRAM?, no cache?
Later, the iMac:
4 GB HD, 32 MB RAM, 2 MB VRAM, 512K cache
Now, we are quickly approaching another level of magnitude in memory... many Macs are shipping with 32 MB of VRAM and a MB of cache...

I just find it fascinating how the specs shift, and how very soon now, RAM which we now count in hundreds of MB, will be counted in GB, and hard drives (which I though were huge at 6 GB) are being sold in hundreds.

We've come a long way.
