4GB isn't a big deal today.

No, but it's still not exactly common - yet.


For comparison purposes: In 1990 (when I bit the bullet and actually
bought one of these suckers),

A youngster. :-)

Yes, that's true - younger'n you, anyway, but then who isn't? - although
I should perhaps confess that the first computer I actually
*programmed* was a little Acorn bittybox (an Atom or an Electron, I
don't recall which), some time in the late 1970s. The first machine to
which I had regular access was an IBM dino (a 4341, IIRC), in the first
half of the 1980s. And the first programmable machine I actually owned
was (cough) an Atari ST. All of these pre-dated my "ooh let's buy a PC"
moment of madness.
