yeah man i remember my first pc build was a 500mhz p3 with 128mb ram, and an original geforce (1) 32mb.. just to play a 3d game that was finally hardware rendered, and not have to rely on software rendering like i did on a p2 in quake 2, was awesome.. yes how far we've come, and to think it's only been 7-8 years since that time.. dude that is nothing, what will be here in 50 years I can only imagine :eek:

its all just a little bit of history repeating... :D
 
the funny thing is that we're only at Quake 4 and 1 single 8800GT is more powerful then who knows how many of those older cards put together...plus it has double the ram of that "super" card. who knows what will happen if we ever get to "quake 10".
 
LOL! love the pic nick!

on my sig, when I played system shock 2:

If I pushed forward, I was at the end of the hall. The big slow mech units that were supposed to be, well, big and slow, moved around at warp nine.

Good times.

Haha, I have that Maximum PC issue.

Besides the jokes, it's always good to thumb through them. Especially to look at the $2K Falcon Northwest gaming computer ads and laugh at the specs. :D

I wonder what the framerate would be with two Ultra's in SLI...

Do it!

In fact i would be interested in an article like this. Maybe grab some of the biggest titles from the last 10 years and see what its like replaying them with new hardware. See which ones are even compatible still. Possibly some IQ comparisons with new hardware vs hardware at the time of the game.
 
lol... reminds me of how I used to use Doom to gague CPU speed and performance waaay back in the 486 and Pentium days. The first thing I would do when I got a new CPU and motherboard is fire up Doom and maybe Wolfenstein 3D to see how much faster they ran than on my previous system.

The biggest jump was when I went from a 486-DX2/66 to a Pentium 90mhz ... whooooah. :D

My Quake3 days consisted of using my $350.00 brand new bleeding edge GeForce256 32MB Sdram:D. 768MB of SDRAM, and a PIII Coppermine 700MHz Slot1 CPU... I swear that game was the absolute BOMB to play back then:p

My family had a premade DELL at the time, before we were so financially unstable we had a GeForce256, and a PIII 800MHz, and 768 RAM, I remember I could run everything for like 3 years lol.
