Holy crap. I just remembered that I had to buy a graphics card with uber 3D capabilities at some point. It was a Creative Labs Graphics Blaster Exxtreme (that's TWO Xs bitches) with 4MB RAM!GrandAm said:Oh it was awesome. That one meg video ram allowed me to play Myst, Doom (original), Doom 2, and the 7th Guest. I was in Nerd heaven. I could have actually paid like $500 USD more and had it upgraded to...TWO MEGS OF VIDEO RAM. All for super awesome gaming. Instead I lived with what I had graphically and spent $200 USD for a new fangled 14.4kbit telephone modem. Thus the introduction of cyberporn to me![]()
Then you had stuff like the Riva TNT coming out which everyone was buying and I remember when the first GeForce came out (after 3DFX went bust) and everyone was like "WTF a graphics card with it's OWN PROCESSOR? A GPU? Are you crazy???"
... aaaah memories.
