Win8 vs Win95: Comparing today's computers to 1995's
Hard Drives 1995: One-gigabyte harddrives are common this year, compared with the 400-500 megabyte drives of 1994. The price difference between the two is only about $200, and it’s worth it.
Memory (RAM): We seem to have convinced most manufacturers to adopt eight megabytes as standard, compared with four megabytes in 1994. Don’t buy less than eight.

99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: :) 4GB DRAMs are common this year, 4MB is common cache size, 1TB is HD minimum.
