Today's pickup is the last Rage-based card I will add to my retro-equipment: ATI Rage Fury Maxx. It's been over 20 years since I bought a new ATI/AMD-based discrete video card, but there was a time when I wouldn't buy anything else. The 1st video card I owned as part of the 1st (and last) OEM PC I …

Only aware of the STB cards with 90mhz ram with chips on 1 side to be 12mb cards. All the other 12mb cards I've seen are 100mhz ram with chips on both sides. I have a couple of these cards. They must be a cheap version of the 12mb voodoo post 3dfx takeover of stb. The STB cards version C are 90mhz …

Quite happy with this PCI version of M400 64MB, snagged it locally for around 5 euro's while buying a serial mouse, it was advertised as AGP :) Unfortunately my current board seems to refuse to work with it (probably needs 2.2 PCI) so it will have to wait for something stronger than my socket 7 …
