Or the other way around: still amazes me how many GBs today's machines need to do conceptually simple things. Things that were done ages ago (successfully, if not better) on much, much, much lower-powered kit. Never mind CPU speed.
Eg. GUIs have been done on machines with a few 100s Kbytes of RAM. 'Only 512MB' is already >1000x that.
