I’m moving soon, so I’m doing the junk purge now. I found an old Voodoo2 card in my junk cabinet and was mildly amused that I kept it. Then as I’m going through the junk in my closet, I found the box! It got a little crushed (ok, really crushed) or I’d take a pic.
Works with your existing video card! 12MB of texture memory! Play games in 1024x768 (double buffered)! Almost 100 fps in 640x480! :drool:
Almost makes me want to install my copy of Quake II.
:D i had that once (Voodoo II).. with two card SLI.
i sold it to my friend long time ago.
it was a pretty good one at that time tho
i played CS, AVP, HL, and Quake
That’s awesome! I think I may have my original Voodoo card lying around somewhere. It’s sitting next to the Nvidia Riva128 talking trash to it. I’ll have to dig up the box that has all this stuff. I’ll probably uncover my stack of 286 and 386 processors as well…
If you have a copy of GLQuake laying around then I can send you my Smurf (or Schtroumph for you European folks) character skins I had and you can run around looking like Papa Smurf or Handy Smurf.
Hey, I am still using my 3Dfx Voodoo Rush card…it’s in my Printer Server…it serves its purpose, plus I can load Glide games from 8 years ago and have some fun

I think the Netware article at the top is funnier. They’re comparing NW 3.12 against NW 4.1 (which won) NT 3.5 (which I forgot I still even had a copy of), OS/2 LAN Server 4 and VINES 5.54. There’s also a sidebar about a strange concept called an “application server”.
Remember when a decent measure of a computer’s speed was to type “dir” in a large directory? I thik it was around the Pentium era that I couldn’t tell the difference anymore.

My first PC was a 486 DX-4 and one important thing for me then was typing “dir /s” in root folder of C drive and seeing the speed at which the text used to scroll on the screen….it wasn’t that fast…after upgrading that system to a pentium 166 that process became much faster and that made me feel so happy

[quote author=“Drachen”]Another blast from the past: an old PC Mag cover . Has it really been only 10 years?
OMG! This brings back memories.. Man I’m still in elementary during that mag.. Think of what we have right now prior “Ten” years.. technology gone a leap!! I think I still have a Cyrix processor in my drawer and not to mention the Intel OverDrive DX40DP75.. hehe these are classics..
Lol .. going down that memory lane ! I remember the BBC micro computer during the times when i was little. Haha ! Such fun .. and all those shows that the thatcher government devised to make the british people the most literate computerist in the world so to speak. It was so much fun.
Every school needed to have one computer atleast as a part of the campaign. I think it was the most important era of technology in our country atleast. Much like the industrial revolution.
