If you want to go back that far, my Timex Sinclair output to a television via composite output, used a casset tape to store programs, and I was amazed to find my BASIC skills worked with it.

But hell, my first real card was a Western Digital ISA VGA with...I believe 256k of memory. And that was probably "upgraded" before I got the thing.

Same as my TI99/4A. That thing was a monster. Actually had the floppy disk drive for it; the drive itself, with read 5 1/4" single side, single density floppies, was as big as a full tower today. Most of the programs for that computer were on cartridges, and the best games were Parsec and Hunt the Wumpus. Had a ton of the old text adventure games on disks, though.

I still have a working TI/994A with the tape recorder drive thingy and I also have the expansion bay with a *gasp* 4MB's Hard Drive !!! lol 4MB's one could never fill such a monster..... lol the expansion bay has alot of slots but I only have the HD (I am thinking parts for it are rather hard to find)

Thank you Nukemaster, I've been meaning to look for that pic, there are a few variations tho.

Someday when that card is released, it will destroy everything else :twisted:

:D

LOL, dual-chip graphics cards have been around a long, long time. Other than professional rendering cards (which can have several chips) there's the ATI Rage Furry and several VooDoo models.

Voodoo 5 5500:

Voodoo 5 6000:

The 5500 was a dual-GPU card with 64MB SDRAM; the 6000 was a quad-GPU card with 128MB SDRAM. The 5500 was actually sold for AGP and PCI; the 6000 was just a prototype.
