OMG! I remember buying one of the (stand alone) cards. It was made by Creative (AFAIR). (Or am I thinking of something else?)

It never, ever worked. It just kept blue screening etc. I tried everything I could! Dixons wouldn't refund and that's why I'll always remember that darn card.


Good times. I also remember having 2x nVidia cards to accelerate a racing game. The name escapes me.

I bought a Matrox M3D to go with my Matrox Millinium II card. It worked great. Better visuals (Actual alpha blending!) and a significantly higher framerate.

It was pretty revolutionary for the time using a tile based rendering approach.
