Vengance_01, I agree, the Kyro II was the best! Considering the price at the time, it really whooped some butt. I've still got the thing stored away somewhere, it died on me but I don't have the heart to throw it out :(
I'm still here! I think I may be one of the oldest users on Sharky's posting regularly.
My favorite piece of hardware would have to be my free GF3. I got it free from Gateway after my GF2 GTS fan was starting to make weird noises. :cool:
Yeah you've been around way longer than me... same year, just the extreme opposite end! I remember when I registered here actually, it was November 30th at 11:59PM and when it processed my registration it said December. Almost made it :)Quote:

Creative Labs Voodoo 2 with 8Megs. Cost me $279 Canadian and to this day was the most money I've ever spent on a videocard :)
You're definitely up there -- probably in the top 10 or so -- but I've still got you beat by a few months. ;)Quote:

I miss some guys like Phatman and CajnDave and especially Arcadian :(.
I have too many favorite hardware to list, although I think I tend to have a bias towards video cards. My 3dfx Voodoo1 and Voodoo3 were great for me. I also love my 386DX, it was the first PC that I owned; I like it so much that I even upgraded that hotrod to 16MB of 30-pin SIMMs. I still load up "Battleship," "Beast," and Doom on that system now and then :).
I'd have to go with my Bh6 motherboard, that thing gave me a 70% OC at stock with a celery 300a.
A close second would be my old soundblaster 16 card. It lasted from 1994 to 2001 in five different rigs.
Voodoo 3 2000 PCI card, woot! First piece of hardware I ever installed in my crappy HP Pavilion with onboard video. It started the obsession :D
Has to be my 3dfx Voodoo2 1000 12MB PCI. That's gotta be my first good graphics card. I remember how much smoother it was playing Shogo MAD.
my other computer when i got it 3 years ago... that thing was the ****!! it had a pee 3 at 600MHz and 384MB of ram. along with a badass TNT2 video card!!! that thing pwned at the time!!! my first computer was awesome as well... 486... 16MB of ram, 1.5GB hard drive, it was great
edit: oh yeah and my cd burner that came with the computer... i was the first one that i knew to own one so i made cd's for everybody!!! it was a 4x4x32... i think it cost me just over $200 when i got it
My favorite hardware was my Hercules 3D Prophet 2.
Most of the old schoolers post over at black sheep forums.
640K or ram on my first computer baby. That is still 100% FPS goodness today, hehehehehe.
Heh heh, 640K should be enough for anyone.Quote:
