We added 4 megs to our 486 and it was $80 a meg so $320 for the upgrade. That was back when hard drives where a little over a dollar per meg.

Are you sure about hard drives at $1 per meg at that time?
It sounds way to cheap.

Yes, you are probably right. I think I am thinking of when I built my Pentium 100 and it was $360 for a 360 meg hard drive.
