My video card collection's website - The Golden Era of 3D Acceleration

I hope you will get back to working condition!
It will be fantastic

 

I was looking through old stuff and found 3 old graphic cards but I think you already have those:

Matrox Mysterion 220 (64-bit) from 1997
Matrox G400 Max from 1999
ATi Radeon 9000 Pro (RV25A) from 2002

 

holy thread resurrection batman

Did you get the VideoPORT 600 addon ?

 

This entire "golden era" thread is missing the best evar graphics card conceived in these times.

10GB of LMNOPRAM dont lie.

 

mysterion ? you mean mystique ?

 

Yeah, I blame my crummy memory for having seen South Park recently

 

What an awesome website. I wasn't really 'around' for a lot of those early year cards, but surprisingly I have a fair few of them (or very similar models) in boxes and such back at home, so I recall the good odl days of playing with those in tinker-systems, just learning the ropes.

Just last night I was going through an old box of junk parts and out of nowhere came across two VooDoo2's... Had such a nostalgia wave - and they're both in perfect condition! I remember when I just had the one V2, and I'd have two 80mm fans hooked up and just sitting on top of the card blasting cool air down onto it because those damn VooDoo's ran so HOT!

Ahhh, great stuff. Are you interested in people sending you some of these old cards if they have something of interest to you, Tim? I have so much shit stored away that I'll never touch, and if any of it is of interest I'd happily send it to a good home. But it's not even just me - I know a lot of folk with boxes of ancient parts they'd happily part with... You never know what you can find in there.

*edit* Had a look on the shelf, randomly found a Creative Video Blaster SE (CT6040) mixed in with a 9700 & 9600 pro. Beats me how it got there... Also got another two big cards like that that link up with a ribbon cable. Neat old gear.

 

I think timbre has a list of stuff he's still after on his site
edit looks like on of those search engine places nicked his web page

 

He's selling almost all his cards, cause of no time. More info at http://www.falconfly.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1304780852

Looks like im alone again in keeping graphic collection pages in english (if you skip many many 3dfx collectors).

 

Wow he came and went quick.

 

timbre if your still around do you have your website stored on your hdd could you make it available to people
wayback machine only has your homepage

 

It's good to hear from you again Tim. I'm sorry to hear that you've been having a rough time. I hope things improve for you. We've been missing you over on VOGONS too, btw. Lots of super ancient 3D card experimentation happening over there as usual.

 

Good luck with your life timbre, hope everything works out for you
put one of those old cards to use and play some classic games, that will cheer you up
(remember whatever the question Gaming Goodness is the answer )

ps: if you cant get the site back up at least put everything in a zip and upload it to megaupload or similar. It would be an absolute crime if the pages were lost forever..

 

Hey, sorry to hear you're going through a rough patch. Good luck with everything, and I hope you find the room and time to keep the cards that you actually enjoy.
