If they build it I'll buy it.

Liked the originals Duke Nukem alot - many years ago when my Canopus Pure3D II SLI rig was king.

Canopus was adopted by the late computer video card manufacturer "Voodoo" as the first line of SLI video cards (Voodoo2 line) some time before the giant NVIDIA bought the company.[citation needed] 'SLI' terminology has now been adopted and changed by NVIDIA to suit their own needs. During Voodoo's reign SLI stood for Scan Line Interleave, while NVIDIA means Scalable Link Interface.

Tell me about it, it's hard to keep up. Look at this beauty, this was out of my IBM PS/2 "Gaming Tower". This was in its day a $3,000 video card. The 8514a with the 512MB "daughter card" for a total of 1MB Video RAM was the first card capable of 1024x768 resolution. I bought this shortly after IBM pulled manufacturing out of Boca Raton for $150 from a place called Gemini which was next to the IBM Factory. I was playing "Quake & DOOM" at 1024x768 or XGA on an IBM which was pretty cool in its day.

I scanned the cards on my HP scanner with its 8 1/2" x 11" window so you can see how big these cards were. No digital camera back then - ha ha

While we're on the history lesson here's some of the processors I pulled from my rigs over the years.


Bottom left the famous 80386 or "386 DX 16 MHz" above it the add-on 80387 Math Co-Processor. Above those two the equally famous 80486 Or "486 DX @ 33 MHz"

To its right the brain dead 486 SX 25 MHz no math co-proc). To its right it a very great gaming processor the PII @ 333 MHz Bottom right a P4 2.0 GHz, to its left a PIII @ 866MHz and a very capable Pentium PRO @ 200MHz which used RISC and whose L2 256KB cache operated at processor speed

That 486 is what powered my Duke Nukem gaming
