Pictures Of Your Dually Rigs!

as well as 16GBs of RAM, it is still shockingly useful as a basic use system running even the Summer 2020 release of Linux Mint
In 2020, there was new computer arguably less performant or around the same being sold, say Intel Celeton N3450 system, the intel celeron N4020 was a 2020 release, they were maybe using 15 time less watt too, sold with way more less ram.

Would this outperform say a simple Core i7-975 system ? (I would have assumed post Q-6600 type of era for Intel to have that period crown for the ultimate system until recently, but did not follow tech closely for a while)

I really should run some good benchmarks on it. But in an all-core workload I feel like it would hang with a 975.

The Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB on the shelf has not gone unnoticed... :p

My ATi GPU collection has gotten pretty epic; the flagship of basically every gen.

Rage Fury Maxx
Radeon DDR 64MB
Radeon 8500 128MB
Radeon 9700 Pro
Radeon 9800 XT
X850 XT Platinum Edition
X1950 XTX
HD 2900 XT 1GB, HD 3870 X2, HD 4870 X2...

That is pretty epic. You're missing the X1800 XT, though... lol

Oh, if I only could have told 2002 me...

X1950 XTX was the flagship though, not the X1800.
The X1800 XT or R520 was launched in October 2005 after the X8x0 line to compete against the feature set of the GeForce 6 series. It for a very short time was ATi's highest end offering until the X1900 XTX/R580 and later the X1950 XTX came out with 3x the pixel shaders: 48 instead of 16. So technically I'm not wrong. It just wasn't flagship for long. I believe with R580 ATi also added support for HDR and MSAA at the same time; a feature that G70/G71 lacked...

The launches between the two GPUs are just shy of 3 months apart.

You're not wrong about the X1950 XTX being the flagship when all the dust has settled for that generation, though. :p

Hah! I noticed that too! I had one similar to that and modded it to a FireGL if I remember right.

I always liked the Rage Fury Maxx too. Shame it never made it past the Windows 9x era.
If I remember right the Rage Fury MAXX had really bad frame pacing issues due to it using alternate frame rendering instead of scan line interleaving like 3dfx...
