Cool! How do you make a hole in the ceramic? I tried making a hole on a 386-16 to put on my keychain but I just couldn't!

I assume that stands for rest in pieces? 😜

When my ViRGE worked it did run 3D Mark 2000 I remember! Dithering looked miserable but on the non texture-mapped chip fly-through scene it wasn't too bad.
