Voodoo...I have good memories of the Voodoo series. Wasn't into computers early enough to experience the 3Dfx cards.

edit: I was too young when the Voodoos were around as well, apparently. 3DfX==Voodoo

Ahh, my Orchid Righteous 3d card, first fully 3d card out ever and I was silly enough to buy it in college. ~$300 too, yikes, that and my Matrox Millennium 2d card and I was sporttin' one heckuva video setup. Course all told it was like ~$550 for it, GOOD GOD!

My friend had a Rendition Verte (verite?), and I have to say it was pretty impressive. Not as fast as mine, with all its 4 megs of EDO ram, but it did both 2d and 3d and was much less.

Didn't 3Dfx make VooDoo?

I definitely have my Voodoo5 right here, and it says 3Dfx right on the box...

uh...I missed my ATI 3D RAGE IIc with a whopping 2MB onboard, it actually played some pretty 3D games like Hexen 1, Doom 1, Mech Warrior at a decent 30 FPS

Dude, you're a poll warrior.

You don't leave room for all the options. I don't miss old technology any more than I miss having to take cold water baths, using an out house, having nothing other than candle light to see with at night, much less living in caves and in fear of animals and other "humans".

The current video cards and the games we play on them are waaaaaay better.

I had a nice S3 once. I think ATi is pretty good though. No complaints or raves about nVidia...never used one for long

Since 3dfx and voodoo were one in the same, how should we vote Ah well... stuck 3dfx just since they were the parent company. Voodoo is to 3Dfx as Radeon is to ATI as GeForce is to nVidia.

Yes. The card was the "3Dfx VooDoo". I had a 3dfx voodoo 3 2000 back in the day.

In other words the first two poll options are the exact same, and the poll options are now:

"3dfx, other, all"

MOST USELESS POLL EVER! Negative rep for that one. I'm getting sick of these useless polls.

Hehe.. I remember a friend going nuts because his Miro Highscore had 4MB texture memory instead of the usual 2 and a game finally supported that.
