Do you remember where you were on this day when NVIDIA launched the world’s first “GPU,” the GeForce 256 in 1999? I do! I was gaming my ass off on that uber-elite Canopus Pure3D II 12MB SLI setups (when it still stood for Scan Line Interleaving), probably in some Quake 2 deathmatch. I missed paying rent because of those damn video cards….or 3D accelerators, rather.



This is a pretty good video to go along with that one as well.
