1991's PC technology was unbelievable (2011)
I remember those CPUs being a lot more expensive than that. And (after looking it up) launching in 1992.

A lot of baked brain cells between then and now....I don't deny my memory is fuzzy.

Fair enough. I guess I was mostly retroactively jealous - at the time I was rocking an 8086 with CGA.

Hmmm, really? I had a DX-4 which was not expensive at all around 1996-ish.

Pentium 200Mhz (Socket 7) came out in 95; so a dx-4 in 96 was definitely old and should be not expensive.

When the 486 launched in 1989/1990 a typical system cost like $10k+.
In 1996 it was very cheap.
