With the fact now nearly everyone buys a new graphics card after one or three years, Who remembers the first or second ever Graphics card? I was 18 when i bought my 1st Card, Orchid Righteous 3D - 3dfx Voodoo 4MB for just £105 GBP, it was only used in 3D games, when in Windows, the 2D card was used. You could hear the mechanical relay click in when you went into a 3D game like, GTA, Carmageddon, or Jedi Knight. Of course come 2000 i was need of a serious Hardware upgrade, i built a new PC (AMD K6-2 450Mhz). I bought my second ever GPU it was the Creative Labs, Nvidia Riva TNT2 Ultra 32Mb for a mere £150 GBP . I can actually remember every GPU purchase for the past 18 years, but hey thats gaming for ya. What was the first video card you ever bought?

Hi everyone, I have just discovered what "Chris Roberts" was making today. I'm 36 years old, and presently, I am like a 13 years old boy with a new toy. I'm french as was "LTC Devereaux - Angel". I bought and finished "Wing Commander", "Wing Commander II, III and IV" ( I still have the original CDs ... ), Privateer, Starlancer, Freelancer, I saw the movie, and for all these years, I was wondering why, with the present technology, a new "Wing Commander" was not announced. Now, I have my answer. " STAR CITIZEN ". I don't even asking myself if I will buy this game because I WILL BUY IT. When I saw the video about the "Origin 300i", I was ..... how to say it ?!? That was just if I was looking the new ad about the last BMW. I wanted to buy it. Ok, let's stop dropping flowers ! In fact, I'm really happy to have a new 'Chris Roberts' game, because in my childhood, after ending WC2, I drawed a lot of kilrathi ships again and again. I made a lot of little 3D spaceships, and this game really had an effect on my childhood. Prince Thrakhath was perfectly designed ... So ... And when I saw "Mark Hammil" and "John Rhys-Davies" in "WC4", OMG !!! FOOOLISH Now, I think it's time to say that I'm already a fan of 'Star Citizen' and I wait the game with impatience. YEAH
