Matrox Mystique w/ 2 Mb RAM.
I will, in about 1 month's time, have a TNT2 w/ 32 Mb...

I have a crappy 2MB Virge, the world's first graphic de-accelerator. I really need a new computer!

Wyarian Pryde: Cool, that's the best one of the Riva's so far. I got the same, but it's a crappy Diamond Viper V500. The drivers are shlt. Creative has always had the best drivers for it's gr. cards. Have you tryed putting the detonator drivers? They speed up the card for about 30%. But what actualy they do is overclocking the proccessor from 90 to 96 mhz, so if you do that, you better get urself a fan for the card.

Hercules Dynamite TNT
16 mb, clocked at 110/125(ships at a default 98/120)
Vaguely thinking of a TNT2 Ultra(probably from Hercules) in the fairly near future.

Matrox Millenium II AGP's with 16MB on each of my three computers. Not for games, but for graphics and high res support (1600 x 1200 true color on Viewsonic P815 21" monitors. I play with Photoshop, Illustrator and Ray Dream Studio a lot, so I'm optimized for color calibration, resolution and depth, not at all for gaming.

Hercules Terminator beast 8mb AGP... Sounds good ? Nope.. f*cking thing can't run DX6 properly.
I do love my Creative Voodoo 2 card though...

Desperate for 3D acceleration,

I built my own Graphics Card. OpenGL, Direct3d 16mb. Good? No the Halflife textures keep slipping.
