Here's a very strange anomaly: a Pentium II with only 8MB of EDO RAM, just enough to run Windows 95 and Quake alright.
It largely illustrates how a computer can run fast if the CPU is very good AND the software you need to run can fit in the system memory. Too much memory, and, well, your system will run normally, application performance probably won't improve and you might be given a page file that takes up more space on the hard disk than you'd want it to. Too little memory, and your software will slow to a grind or fail to run outright.
It may also be possible to install just 4MB of RAM in a pair of 2MB 72-pin SIMMs; they do, in fact, exist. But you should expect terrible speeds with them, at least 70ns.

episode 4 sure at least does a good job continuing the them of weird hardware setups. 8mb of ram with a pentium ii is something i would like to see more of, because usually that amount is seen on a 486 or pentium, or a really good 386 if you're lucky. but if you're only running dos on a system like this you're not gonna feel the effects of it, as dos is single tasking by nature. windows 3.1 or 95 could show how crippling it is better
on November 14, 2023, Kugee's website, Razorback, shut down, and hundreds of the best retro tech videos vanished with them. He sent me some nvme drives with raw footage and project files so I can preserve his videos in the best format possible. so this is effectively the official archive of Razorback (and kugee's youtube channel)
