Is this rage3d 2.0 or something?

Re:

The movies name was "Airplane"
great movie lol

I was trying to strike a responce with that quote

"Surely you can't be serious!"

" I am serious and don't call me surely."

It's funny as hell if you watch it. Sence you never saw it none of this makes sence.

/me wishes they made more.

 

I didn't start following video cards tell r100 /geforce 2 /voodoo 5 5500

 

Re:

Geez...and how old are you? 12?

I'm pretty sure you remember the days of 1 MB VLB and ISA graphics cards.

 

Re:

19?

Didn't start into computers tell 15.

First computer I built was a asus p3v4x p3 650@866 (lol yes first com I built I over clocked with in a week) alpha pal (damn forgot the model number...that huge beast)
128 megs of pc150 radeon 32ddr.

 

I remember the days of this 2 meg peice of shit nitro dvd video card that caused me a shitload of headaches recently if that's what you mean.

 

I had a 2MB VLB Trident Vid Card, cost me $250 in '94, damn that thing was amazing (32bit color!)

It kicked ass. I had a CGA and EGA vid cards before that

 

Re:

Ah I see.../me didn't get into the interest of computer hardware until 3 years ago (14 here, by the way).

First 'PC' I touched was an 80286 running at 12 MHz, 2 MB RAM, EGA graphics, MS-DOS 6.0 and Windows 3.1)

The 600 MHz P3 I have with me (the rig I constructed 2 years ago), I still use to this day. The graphics card and networking, along with the OS, has gone through many generations.

 

I need to learn software urg!

fuck I need to take some classes because I can only learn by watching someone else do it right.

 

Re:

I believe the chipset on the card there was the crappy ViRGE... first dubbed as the official '3D decelerator'

Heck, that damn chip didn't even have a hardware triangle setup engine.

Try overclocking that thing and all you'll receive is degraded performance.

 

Lol It doesn't work no more.

The com it came with refuses to accept it now.

It hangs the bios EVERY time its in it.

Here I thought I fucked the chip when I used a drill to remove those fucking OEM screw's holding that hunk of steel on it.

(PII 300 OEM)

 

Re:

Back in those days, you were considered very lucky if your 2D card was capable of displaying 24-bit color at any resolution.

Now I have flashbacks of playing Doom at 640×480 in 256 colors...at a mere 20 fps on a 486DX/66.

 

Re:

Yeah, that's the sign of your computer spitting out the card, because it's utter junk.
But still, it's sad not to have a functional graphics card. It could be used as a great doorstep though.

 

Re:

Me wishes he never threw away his 486 sx 33
:tears: :tears: :tears: :tears:

Couldn't get it to accept any damn new cd-rom and the old one was fucked.

FUCK
DAMN
SHIT!

Also never should have thrown away my compaq PII 333 computer (though I sold every part out of that com except the mobo PS and case...)

 

Re:

I'm going to cut its "gpu" out with my dremel and make a keychain out of it.

 

Re:

Always keep those old machines...they can be put through some good use.

For example, where I work, the primary web server is running on a 486SX/33 running OpenVMS!

Ahh...now back to the days when floppy disks were actually 'floppy'

 

Oh man now I remember my dad's tandy computer with Ms dos 1.0-3 (not really sure)

had some other software to use with its dual 5.25 floppys.

Btw that 486 had a 1.44/1.2 3.5/5.25 floppy combo drive.

Now that thing was pimpin.

 

Also what was scarry is that that hard drive was 9 years old and did NOT have a bad sector.

 

Re:

Wow...now Tandy...that's very old-school.
On 486s dual-3.5 and 5.25 incher drive configurations were pretty popular.

Now time for some benchmarking:

SpriteMark 94 MAX:

All tests ran in 256 colors at 320×200 resolution:

Lol sprite mark 84 you mean.
