Not the same thing, but I still have my old Voodoo 2 3D-accelerator card (not the same thing as a video card back then).

I had the original voodoo 3Dfx in 50lbs Alienware case with a 75 lbs 20+ inch crt.. can’t remember the exact size. Wrong choice for university living at the time

VESA local bus. It was the shit and nothing was ever going to be better. Until next year.

I miss my Voodoo 2 3000 AGP card.

I got an ABIT Siluro/ Geforce 2 MX400 after that and Diablo 2 ran worse, the frame rate tanked. I was gutted.

Back in the day I tried to play Morrowind but every time I moved my mouse the game would crash, I started removing hardware until I found out it was my soundcard giving me issues, was an old ISA slot. Got a PCI soundcard after that and no issues.

Those were the days.

Shitty days, but days nonetheless, when PC gaming was the Dark Souls of gaming.

It's a good thing you held onto it.

Wow, I have a bunch of old stuff laying about too that I figured was worth nothing. Original boxes, games, manuals etc which might help too. Hmm
