Interestingly, about 15-20 years ago there was much talk of the "3M" machine: a megapixel display, a megabyte of memory, and a million instructions per second.
I heard about it as the 1-M machine, with same qualifications. It had to have virtual memory to count as a real machine; I think the 386 or later had one. Myself, I shared a monochrome 68K-based Sun3, and thought myself lucky. And only vision labs had cameras attached.
