Re: RAM! How y'all for RAM these days!
I was just talking to someone about this. The TRS-80 Model III my dad brought home from Radio Shack came with 4k of RAM. It looks like the 16k version sold for $999 and the one with 48k and dual drives was $2,500. I remember my dad doing the RAM upgade on that machine himself. He ordered four 4k chips, removed the four 1k chips, and replaced them for a grand total of 16k. I believe you had to have 48k to run a floppy drive so we were stuck with a tape player.
When I started at the FAA the first big project I worked on was setting all workstations in the field to a "minimum baseline" that included 540Mb hard drives and 8 megs of RAM (a lot of our older machines only had 4Mb). Because memory was so expensive we weren't really trusted with it and so they would ship the necessary RAM to the office and then when we got there we had to open it and two people had to count and verify it.
I think this laptop I use has 32GB of RAM. The first thing I do with any machine is max out the RAM, it's like the best bang for the buck upgrade you can do. It's like maxing out the acceleration in Ivan Stewart's Off Road before buying tires and shocks.

Offroad has an "EGA 64" mode. This conversation is not over.

If you can get an authentic Ivan Stewart's Off Road, I am coming to Colorado for a week.

I just checked for my actual answer.. 64 MB DDR5. I can't fathom why I would ever use even half that often. I only got 64 instead of 32 because I bought it before the great RAM price hike.
Also, today I washed and thoroughly cleaned the inside of the RAM, then used a paint touch up kit to fix the couple of scratches in the bumpers. It's the nicest vehicle I've owned since my 1990 Honda Prelude, so I'm trying to keep it looking nice.
