Around 2005 or 2006 I had a Windows 98 computer with 32MB RAM in my dorm room, it was more than adequate for browsing the web and writing Ruby and C (including doing an OpenGL tutorial, NeHe's of course).

Note that according to the first google result for "2006 computer spec"[1], 1GB RAM was common at the time.

Oh, Firefox 1.0, we miss you so!
