well let's see, my first PC when i was 11 or 12 had integrated gfx... i could get between 10 and 15 FPS on an old flight sim called silent thunder. but at my age i was still amazed.

later we got another PC with integrated.

finally in 99 or 2000 we bought a PC with a matrox g400 in it which blew me away. games like half life 1 and counter strike seemed so lifelike, i did not think it was possible to get any better.

in 04 i bought a compaq and put an ati radeon 9800 pro in it

i recently bought an emachines t3612 and have been upgrading it slowly into the PC in my sig, part by part. so for now the 8600gt is my card, will be buying a 9800 when they release in november (unofficial)

It was many years ago but I still remember the small manual and it was written there that your can upgrade your video card memory by adding another memory cheap. But how? That's the question I wanted to know an answer at that time :D
NFS: Porsche Unleashed? Oh my god! I could only dreamed of that:D
At that time there was NFS 2 as far as I remember (you know this part of the game had Ferrari, McLaren F1, Lotus and so on). I played it and dreamed of Voodoo 2 but it was too expensive for me at that time :D

It just amazes me how fast technology moves. First it's the P4's, few months later when the C2D's come out the P4 are considered crap... now the Quads, then the QX's...
