I also don’t understand why every chat app needs 1GB of RAM to itself.

    Well having 64GB RAM has been a huge boost to how fast everything feels so this checks out.

        I don’t remember those days. I used Windows 3.1 (with DOS for games) at a relatives house, but it was too early for me to understand about the hardware. We also had some Apple computers at school with I think 5 1/4" floppy disks but again I didn’t really get technically savvy until I was older.

        The first PC we had at home was Windows 95. I seem to recall we had a pretty decent amount of RAM. Maybe 32MB or perhaps even 64MB.
