Well, atleast in my house!

Cirrus logic 5434

I'm doing the eVGA step-up for a 7900GT CO Superclocked and I needed a card to boot my PC up, I found this thing in a really old box! It's so small! There are no drivers for XP besides the ones XP offers (which only supports 16bit colors and 800x600 max! (Im on a 20.1" Widescreen LCD!)

I just thought it would be something funny to post. :)

I cant wait for my new card!

Hehe, me too. I've got an old ATI rage64 PCI card in my computer right now.

I had a few older ones, but I went with the best of what I had in my PCI collection.


Its just sad...


Solitare really works well with this card though!!! :)

I have a BOCA EGA 16bit ISA card in shrink wrap. Beat that. :p

I've a S3 Trio32 (not the famous 64V+ that came out in 1995) which still sits into the PCI slot of a vintage Pentium 60 board.

If we want to talk about really ancient video cards, well, I still have a IBM XT with a monochrome graphic adapter.

I have one too!!

It was a multi I/O card though. I think it has a game port, printer port and maybe even a serial port on it as well.

Ah, the good old days of a blistering fast 4.77 mghz processor. :)
