My first video card was a 4MB ATI rage that could play mecharwarior 2 with 3D accellerations!

It was also the first online game I played. I loved putting jump jets on my mech, jumping super high and then becoming death from above!

*EDIT*

Yup I just googled it, Trident was one of the beginning as well, maybe STB came after them, either way it was a long time ago.

Kinda funny one of the old Tridents has got two slots to add more memory, you could get 256 or 512kb little memory sticks and they snaped in like a bios chip. You could imagine trying to find them in the mid 90s.
