i remember getting a voodoo card for starsiege tribes

>>62119989
This.
Underage tard that don't even know when V2 was released.

>>62119997
I was born in 1987. Fa/g/it

>>62120100
Then why did you post a card that was released in 1998 and not 1996?

>>62120004
AMD been BTFO since Pentium pro got integrated L2 cache in 95, only poorfags use AMD

>>62120147
More accurate: Fanboys then, fanboys now.

Spoilers: They're all still retards.

kit.
Java is a meme and will never catch on.

(limiting this thread to 1996 was a bad decision, OP. Now we're all just going to quote from that site.)

>>62120100

Best year!

>>62120121

STFU faggot, anyone can look shit on wikipedia and come out with the perfect date. Probably because he was using his HUMAN MEMORY.

I'm using my HUMAN MEMORY, and I'm as old as OP, which is why I think less of him for not knowing about 3dfx.

>>62120911
Some people are better at this than others. I can't remember the year anything happened for shit. Even major events like hs graduation, I couldn't tell you what year that was.

>>62118224
The latest sound cards don't have a 6.35mm headphone jack. Fucking dropped.

How the fuck is Apple still alive? Guarantee they'll be gone soon.

>>62121974
If you're as old as me, you graduated back in 2006 if you graduate at 18.

i swear its magic, but theres no room for improvement, how on earth could they make it smaller?

>tfw born 1996
>only got a glimpse of the golden era of consumer technology
why even live?

>>62122278
right, I could obviously figure it out, but there are people that just remember the year shit happened. It's ingrained in their memory for whatever reason. My best friend is like that; he can tell you the month/year for when any of his relationships started or other major events.

>>62120100
Same. Just turned 30
Is it over?

I'm bad with peoples birthdays and such but I remember dates when my hardware is released, what hardware I've had through the years since 1999 when I built my first PC, though I had no idea what hardware I had in the two previous builds since they where pre-built.

We had this and a Sound Blaster 16 card. I think it was a Pentium II 233 mhz that was overclocked to 266 mhz.

That computer lasted a long time. Now I change computers as often as I change socks.

>>62126448
Entry level systems were more commonplace but you're still talking 2k+ in 1995.
