Hah, my first PC in college had 640k. I remember fiddling with the himem.sys and autoexec.bat trying to maximize the mem util. Loading games from 5.25" and 3.5" floppies because it didn't have a hard drive, but then a couple of months later, I bought a 32MB "hard card" (hard disk mounted on a HDD controller that fit in an ISA slot). I think my next upgrade was a VGA card that I think came with 512k RAM, which I eventually upgraded to 1MB. I never did upgrade the RAM for the PC though. There was a 384k upgrade that you could get.
