Haynie's Garage Sale

this:

I dunno about his stool, but Dave should consider selling an evening in his company at a bar or something on ebay. I reckon that might sell for even more than his kit.

I'd love to have a drink with the guy (non alcoholic in my case, of course) and hear his tales of the good (and not-so-good) old days first hand.

...led to THIS?!

Dave is the kind of guy that u wouldnt have to pay to hang with thats absurd. He is very cool and open.. guess thats why everyone likes him.

I cant believe the bidding is at 1k for that aaa board WITHOUT the chips and NOT workin?k??

NVIDIA's co-founder Curtis Priem was a designer for IBM Professional Graphics Controller(PGC) and SUN GX graphics chip (1986-1993). NV1 was released sometime in ~1995.

NVIDIA was not the driving force for pre-1995 PC graphics. Also, Intel i860/i960 VLIW-RISC 3D chip was used in SGI machines.

In 1984, PGC has 640×480 with 256 colors and a refresh rate of 60 Hertz.

ATI Mach 8 was released sometime in 1991.
ATI Mach 32 was released sometime in 1992.
ATI Mach 64 was released sometime in 1994.

Can C= AGA compete against ATI Mach 32?

How much were those cards back then?  I'm guessing a bit out of the typical consumer range...
