The first PC I got was way back to 1990, where it was a 80286 PC without any HDD, that we need to insert a 5 inch floppy to boot and to run any program. RAM was really expensive then, probably 200 bucks for 1 MB stick.
Then we bought a 80386 PC with 1MB RAM, which was one of the fastest and most economical around (Not to compare with Pentium 66 Mhz then). Pentium was the speed demon (and the price cost an arm too). The 80386 came with a 20MB HDD, which is really conveninet to be able to run and store things in it. Everything is in DOS flavor. dir/w is the most common command. Plug and play is unheard of.
Then finally, we bought a DX2-66 and it was really fast. It comes with 4MB RAM default and preloaded with Windows 95. We reformatted it with Windows 98 and it can still run fine. Slowness is unheard of because everyone is in 486 era where Pentium is still costing a premium over it.
Then AMD and Cyrix started to roll out their own alternatives. But I'll leave that to another day.
