Many may remember 3dfx as the undisputed king of 3d graphics just 3-4 years ago. Seems like a long time when talking about Computers and technology. It however is not that long ago and when looking at the technology that 3dfx was working on... just a few changes and differencs may have saved them and they could be what ATI is today: The leader in Image Quality and maybe even in performance.

I know. It is like 3-4 years is an astoundingly long time when you are talking about computer technology. Just think, it wasn't 4 years ago where having a cell phone was odd. Now everyone has one.

friend of mine only had a huge cell like that for about a year....we called it "The Brick" and that thing was dropped innumerable times and kept working. His dad had the same one and threw it at railroad tracks to break it so he could get a new one.

Hey I think this thing is like a collecters item now...you know collect all 5 win a prize or something....

The only prob with the 5500 is if you had a mid or small size case there was no way you'd fit it in there It's friggen huge...hmm actualy it's.. 9 1/2 inches long and 5 inches tall. And what exzatly would you do with it if I sold it to ya anyway (poor baby has to have a good home)
