) i had so many issues getting UT to install along with windows onto a ~500 mb disk... kept running out of space w/ 98 and 95 didn't support filenames properly. ended up running it over network (thinnet) from my brother's computer, which had a 2gb disk, a CD burner, the same processor, and 128mb memory. i had more memory than him until he got the CD burner and we swapped to keep it from getting buffer underruns... but it still happened and he didn't give the memory back. grr... hehe. that card is currently in a computer i put together for a friend (450mhz p3) so i can't get a pic/scan of it either... it has a burn spot on the sticker on the back of it over the core. )

Or they could sell a sub-set of their GeForce cards under the 3DFX / Voodoo name, knowing that people will buy the crap out of them, just for the nameAdvil said:If Nvidia actually owns trademark to 3dfx now, it will be interesting to see what happens with it down the line. Perhaps someday they'll release a product that they know will be the pinnacle of their company's existance, and decide to pay homage by naming the card the "Geforce 3dfXtreme" or some such.

Speaking as someone who still regularly messes around with old (486DX2-66 and up) systems, I can tell you that you're very much mistaken, one example being the AT powerconnectors, where plugging in the P1/P2 connectors in the wrong order (black _not_ in the center) would result in a fried mainboard. Try that with your new-fangled ATXdemingo said:

Finally is the massive processor collection:
With everything ranging from a 386/16 (with companion 387 floating point coprocessor,) to an Itanium, this is my big daddy collection. Some highlights: 387 math coprocessor (first row, second from the left.) Pentium OverDrive processor (63Mhz Pentium processor for use in a 486 socket, top row, 8th from left with fan hanging off so you can see the text underneath.) Pentium Pro early engineering sample (133MHz, a speed that was never even released! Second row, leftmost. It didn't even have the name 'Pentium Pro' yet, it's followed by two production PPro procs.) 'Klamath' processor. (233MHz engineering prototype of the Pentium II. Again, before it has the name Pentium II. Second row, fourth from left, followed by a 333MHz P2, 266Mhz cacheless Celeron, and 700MHz Coppermine-core P3.) The ultra-rare Pentium II OverDrive (3rd row, sixth from left, this was a 333MHz Pentium II processor with FULL-SPEED L2 cache to go into a Pentium Pro motherboard. It was the only P2 that was more-than-dual-processor capable, and it was almost twice as fast as the fastest Pentium Pro processor. What looks like a Coppermine style 'flip-chip' core is really the L2 cache, the large heat spreader-covered chip is the core.) Right next to that is a Pentium II Mobile (third row, 7th from left, this one was a 'thermal' sample which really meant that it would power up, but not run.) The big honkin monster with what looks like 3 P2 cores is a Pentium II Xeon (sans big black case, one core is indeed a 400MHz P2 'Deschutes' core, the other two are full-speed L2 caches, 512kB each.) Next to that (third row, right end,) is an original Itanium. (If you look, you'll see four long chips (each twice as large as a Coppermine P3,) that are the L3 caches, and the humongous square isn't a heat spreader, it's the gigantic core of the Itanium.) Directly beneath the Xeon and Itanium is a PowerPC 604, taken from a PowerMac that got an upgrade. The processor itself is the tiny square in the lower left quadrant. (It's a flip-chip with a ceramic casing barely bigger than the silicon. The red is the actual chip, the white is thermal paste.) In the lower-left is a Motorola 68040 upgrade for a Macintosh IIci. This bugger plugs into the L2 cache socket in the Mac! Above that are my non-Intel x86 chips, an IBM 486, Cyrix 6x86es, and AMD K6-2. Next (which really should be on the next row down,) is a PowerPC 603e pulled from a PowerBook that got a G3 upgrade.
Oh, and this doesn't include my Macintosh collection. (Now about 10 more than on that webpage.)
