This thread gets better and better.

IKR, eating more popcorn...

🤣 ... this is beyond even me.

I haven't really got past VESA bus. So much so that now most projects i'm working on are EISA bus... going backwards!

I have a CGA graphics card, it's currently 100% useless because I have no motherboard that can take it 😢
I wish I could try it, I'd love to play some Commander Keen with pink and cyan colors 😁

I remember when I upgraded from an ISA graphics card to PCI, I was convinced the dumb manufacturer had gotten the bracket backwards.

But on that note, I am still annoyed that when Express slots came out, they didn't take advantage of the opportunity to flip the cards back over again. They're still upside down, damnit.

Personally I'd rather have expansion cards not get the extra dust.

Yeah, it's quite disappointing to not be able to enjoy the cool and fancy coolers that the new GPUs come with 🙁

If you can't see the GPU cooler while the card is mounted upside-down, it's not a fancy cooler (nor will it be very 'cool') 🤣
