So who on here blew money on one of them? 😁 I remember running into some people with the Creative DXR cards. Of course Pentium IIs became capable of playing DVDs on their own pretty quick once PowerDVD/WinDVD got nice and optimized.
I had my first DVD drive, a Toshiba 6X, up until a couple of years ago.
Hey maybe I should put together a PII and see how slow I can go until it can't play a DVD. Does that sound exciting? 😉 Can a PII keep up with a K6-2 in this case?!?! Maybe I could even explore the thrilling early attempts at DXVA in NV/ATI/etc cards!!!! Actually that would probably entail digging up proprietary DVD software (because they each had their own back then) and that sounds anti-fun.
