Motherboards are already being built to handle 1GB of memory

disk drive and then reading that some nerd that worked for PC
Magazine had a 386DX with a machine with 1GB of RAM and
I was using either a NorthGate 286-12Mhz with 1MB of RAM or a
386sx-20MHz. BTW, I kept the NorthGate 286 around until
486 machines started coming out because it worked as well or
better than most of the first 486 machines that hit the market.

Ah... ye younguns... :-)

30MB disk drive was massive when I started on PCs, but now I probably have
more memory in my watch. And I'm only 21 (hexadecimal). :-D
