Those were some good specs back in the day… And the price 😯
$5778 adjusted for inflation.
2 CD ROMs drives AND a zip drive? This guy fucks
My man got that dual DVD setup in 1998! I got my first own computer when i was 15 in 2001 and it had a DVD tray and I thought I was cool af. Watched the first DVD the same day and a few days later I got a DSL modem and I was king of the world. It ran Delta Force like a dream.
For the kids, this would’ve been a top of the line beefy set-up. I would say in '98 you would find a 1gb hd, a 120 Pentium, and 16mb of ram in a typical home that had a computer.
Remember things upgraded fast back then, by '00 your average Joe would be buying Pentium iii’s with 600mhz and a DVD drive! Woah!
So funny story, if this is the first-gen (Blue) Dell XPS, we also bought one similarly spec’d.
Dell shipped it to us and when it arrived, it had 64 MB of ram instead of the 128 MB we ordered it with. Rather than sending us out new ram, they shipped us ANOTHER whole XPS. They never asked for the first back.
