128MB

128MB, or 128 megabytes, is a unit of digital information storage. It is equal to 128 million bytes, or approximately 134.2 megabits. In the context of computing, 128MB is a relatively small amount of memory compared to modern standards, but it was significant in the early days of personal computing and the internet.

In the 1990s, 128MB of RAM was considered a substantial amount for a personal computer. It was often found in high-end systems and was a key factor in the performance of software applications. For example, a 128MB RAM configuration was standard in the original Apple Macintosh computers and was also available in some of the first IBM PC compatibles.

In the context of data storage, 128MB was a common capacity for floppy disks and early compact discs (CDs). It was also a typical size for digital cameras and early digital audio players.

Today, 128MB is considered very small. Modern smartphones, for instance, typically have several gigabytes of RAM, and even entry-level computers have RAM capacities measured in gigabytes. However, 128MB is still relevant in certain contexts, such as in the design of embedded systems and low-power devices.

The term "128MB" is also used in the context of video games, where it refers to the amount of video RAM (VRAM) required to run a game. Games that require 128MB of VRAM are generally considered to be low-end or retro titles.
