    Your computer stats make no sense. At the time 400 mhz would have been common so would 10Gb HDD and they wouldn't have had 512mb of RAM, could be as low as 64mb but not likely to be higher than 256mb, you actually listed the computer as having more RAM than HDD space.:D

    Actually, he's asking what kind of PC had 10GB of HDD space in 1993. That's close to 1999 disk sizes.

    I know that no consumer PC had a 10gig HDD in 1993, I was saying that a PC with a 400mhz cpu would have a HDD closer to 10GB than 200MB.
