I still have mine, but sadly I don't have any more functioning systems with an AGP slot.<p>It was the first decent gfx card I ever bought, my little brother and I pooled all our money in order to do it! We picked it up in some little hole in the wall in Fremont I'd found through Pricewatch.com.<p>Prior to that we'd gotten ripped by Fry's buying garbage PCI Diamond Crystal something or other cards, they didn't even stock recent NVidia cards back then.
Then I found HardOCP and learned what to get. Still miss Kyle Bennett's sass.<p>The late nineties were something else, loved those crazy Athlon and Duron builds that could OC like crazy. It was so much fun! I really don't know of anything comparable these days, because for the past 15 years nearly zero games really required the latest and greatest hardware to be playable at reasonable settings. Homemade QinLED and other home-flashed iOT devices are fun, but not in the same galaxy.<p>I miss the A-Bit motherboards, they were a cut above. Never had one die on me ever (while under active use*).<p>* Storing old PC components seems sensitive - tossing them in a box in anti-static bags in a dry garage doesn't seem to do the trick.<p>P.s. - TFA claims the GeForce 256 was "the world's first GPU", but why not consider the NVidia Riva TNT a real GPU? And what about the They were capable at the time. And c'mon, the 3DFX Voodoo was the real first GPU.<p>If you want to feel bad, click this SEO stuffed and gamed link for "most beloved GPU of all time" and notice the lack of mention of 3DFX. Gaslighting trash.<p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=most+beloved+GPU+of+all+time" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=most+beloved+GPU+of+all+time</a>
