My first real computer back in 1989 memory cost $100 per Meg. We got a screamin fast 8 meg machine with a massive 65 meg hard drive. Yep, 25 MHz clock speed, it was impressive for $3k. Ok, it was hardly a screamin fast machine, but it worked.
now if only cars could improve at the same rate as computers, getting 2x as powerful and 1/2 the cost every couple of years.
