Going back to your beginnings in PC gaming: the first game you played and loved, but the frame rate and resolution weren't ideal. Your first "I need/want to upgrade my specs" basically.

Doom - we upgraded to 16MB of RAM so we could play it through Windows 95.

Win95 wanted 4MB and Doom wanted all 8 that we had, so we had to exit, reboot, and go to DOS then run it manually.

Same here but my upgrade was 4MB to 8MB for better DOS performance.
