Hmmmm first card was
6200se, then...
X1950pro, then
HD4870,
that's over the course of like....6 years lol. A new GPU every 2 years? I didn't really get into computers until about the second year when I realise my computer was a piece of trash.
*****? I don't think you realize how rare them damn Voodoo 3dfx cards are, now-a-day. My hollandish (?) gamerfriend has been a GPU collector since 1996 (he got all sorts of rare Prototype GPUs), and he just bought a Voodoo6 6000 for 2000 euros on eBay. (selling his god damn Core i7 rig for a bloody rare GPU?!)
But he told me about these Voodoo cards, and from what I've learned from him, Voodoo was the shit over 'em all.
