GeForce 5xx series came out in 2010 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_500_series) and NONE of them had less than 1GB of memory. Idk what GPU you used, but it was old technology at that point.

Probably. Whoever bought those machines probably didn't realize that GPU performance was quickly becoming a relevant metric for scientific computation.
