I don't know about you, but where I live there's hardly people.

Sounds nice. ^.^
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
Yup I'd move in. Then you can have more rivals.

Got all of these games for free from the computer recycling organization I volunteer at. I was shocked they put them in the free area, but hey, I'm not complaining. Also got an IDE DVD ROM drive and a USB hub today for my compaq presario. Going to test it all out right now.

An early (1st quarter 1994?) Mach64 GX for Commodore PCI enabled systems. They are not exactly rare but not common either and with a TI DAC definitely an unusual sight. There were Mach32 variants too.

Pretty happy with this 😀
Got this Dell-branded 3DLabs/Intergraph monster, a Wildcat 4000 AGP+PCI:
The framebuffer with 16MB RAM is the PCI card, the "geometry accelerator" with 64MB texture memory is the AGP card. These were also sold as 2 separate cards with cable connecting them, this is a Dell variant with common bracket. Has drivers only for NT4 and W2k, and AFAIK is only OpenGL, no directX compatibility. Thus not really useful for games, it was meant for CAD applications. Found some info at http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/component … at-4000-msmt556 and http://www.digitalproducer.com/pages/wildcat_ … s_top_score.htm
It will join my collection of 3DLabs cards. Can't wait to test it. For $12 on ePay, couldn't resist.
(BTW if anyone else wants one, the seller has one left - search by name)

Early 9700 non-pro were in fact just rebranded pro variants with the same Samsung 2.8ns memory.

Bought a Pentium 3 kit, came yesterday. Jetway J-7BXAN, Pentium 3 450MHz Katmai and 256MB of RAM
Found a 500 and a 550 in my drawer, both working 🤣

I dig the CRT and the Wildcat.
Got a GeForce256 by accident - even though it's the SDR variant it's a very capable card - kinda understandable that they are a "collector's item" . Albeit it looks kinda too generic for my liking.
It's pretty funny when taking into account hat it took me 19 years to have it running in a system of mine. The only live GeForce256 that I ever saw was a buddy's CT branded with DDR ram. That dork overclocked it and killed it on the 2nd or 3rd day playing Quake II.
Also got a Gigabyte GA-6BA and it's a pretty speedy board. Butt since I have no use for it I''ll sell it on yabe.

That's infamous GeForce 256 64-bit memory bus version. Pretty much GeForce 2 MX 200, but even worse.
But hey, you can add missing memory and upgrade it to 64mb/128-bit bus 🤣

not gonna post a pic since it's not interesting but a friend gifted me a 1991 AdLib card 😀

Did the SDR versions normally feature a 128bit bus?
If I can find the rams I'll give it a try.

I can't find it. Has it sold?
See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

On the flipside, I'd like to see a modern-day card (GTX 1080 or so) with that kind of "styling". No RGBLEDs, superficial plastic, or weird PCB colours, and the HSF manufacturer's logo on the fan hub instead of the board maker's. IMO it would be very refreshing.
