    Putting more than 256MB of ram in a Windows XP machine. People think that the jump from HDD to SSD was big, but imagine Windows actively using the HDD as virtual memory. It would grind your PC to a halt. Going to 512MB made your computer feel like a Ferrari.

      Going from 8MBto 16MB on Windows 95 was a pretty big improvement.
