          He did too! But wasn't that card based on the Power VR PCX2 chip?

          The M3D was the first "3D" graphics I've seen before. I was always used to the pesky "software" mode.

            He left out the Mystique, too - which is fairly criminal considering it came WELL before anyone else was delivering a 2d/3d integrated solution that was worth a damn.

            I'm the least you could do, oh yeah

              Just finished, good article.

              He seemed to forget the whole nVidia driver release as the ATI 8500 was released thing though. (does that make sense?)

              Quite informative.

                Gurm,

                The mystique is there. He mentioned it first as the MGA10?? chipset.

                  No, the MGA-2064W is mentioned, which is the Millennium. The mystique is missing completely, which is very wrong. IT was the first 'proper' 2d/3d card that let me run mechwarrior properly

                    The bundled version was great

                      yep, when I could finally afford a real graphics card, (I had a Trident 9440), I picked up a Mystique 170. Sold it and bought a 4meg Mystique 220. Bought an M3D, to use for 3d and kept the 220 for regular stuff. Sold em all and bought a G200 8meg. Sold that and grabbed a G400 32meg. Loved it for 2 years or more, but it was too slow and now I have broken with tradition and bought a ATI Radeon 8500 64meg. Oh well at least it is still Canadian and not an Nvidia card.

                      that acounts for 7 years as well hehe
                      AMD XP2100+, 512megs DDR333, ATI Radeon 8500, some other stuff.
