Nah, only old enough to vote... 8GB capacity arrived with the Core2Duo 
in 2006.

And yeah, the Core2 and 8GB is now the practical divide between "still 
generally useful" and "just too durn slow" but they're starting to fall 
out of "useful" for all but these limited specialty tasks that don't 
need a lot of horsepower (for modern values of "a lot").
