    Got board, decided to see if Rosewill still had the card i bought LONG ago.

    Post a Pic of your Favorite (older,no 9800GTX and such u know.) Video card you've owned.


    Yes

    Rules.

    1. NO HDMI
    2. No Dual DVI
    3. NO PCIe

    Must be AGP or PCI.... easy simple, and a way to remember the simple times

    (im glad Rosewill does not sell graphic cards anymore)

    http://www.rosewill.com/Product/product.aspx?productId=155

    The 6800 Was not my First but my Favorite
    Geforce 6800 (NV40) 128mb DDR 256bit [ 325core / 700mem ]

    I simply loved that card. Till I got something better ;)

    Also had this, and I remember playing Battlefield 1942 with it (albeit with a terrible 20-30 fps):

    ATi Rage 128 Pro (16mb)

    Duuuuuuude you won't fool us! not me at least! that's a conexant Riptide modem not a video card. the port at the right it's the game port! i just installed this very same modem this morning in my sister's PC so she can use her old gamepad. :)

    thats not a graphics card port dude, its a game port so you could connect up stuff like joysticks.

    Damn you CornNELL, beat me to it :p

    Oh wow, I have the exact discombobulation of a card (it's in my pile of random computer pieces).

    The first graphics card I had; put it in my essay-typing computer and played half life 2 (when it was new) at medium-low settings.

    FX5200 with 256 MB of RAM:
    [​IMG]

    I could only find an image of the AGP version, so I used MSpaint to pake it a pci card.

    The first is where it really all started for me .. This is a 3Dfx voodoo graphics based card. back in these days 3D graphics (or actually accelerator it was called back then as it had no 2D) you needed to add it next to your existing 2D graphics card and loop the two with a cable.

    Some interesting facts, 65K maximum colors, highest resolution supported 800x600 (640x480 was the norm).

    4 MB memory !

    Nice one Hilbert I was waiting for that card payed £140+.
    That is what I got back in the days of Quake 1... mmmm how things change.
    I loved it really my old Pentium 100mHz 16mb expanded with another 32mb EDO Ram, a Diamond Stealth Virge card & the Voodoo.. interesting.
    Yes owning people in Quake 2 online was down to me having this card.
