Not quite in the same league, but in the early 90's I spent over $200
to upgrade my 4M 486/66 system to 8M (so, an additional 4M) so it
would run dBase IV under DOS for a client project (anyone remember
extended memory?). I earned $250 on the project which paid for the
extra memory, and also allowed me to run OS/2 faster, so that worked
out.
