The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Awesome, thanks. Takes me down memory lane. I probably had about half of those cards as well. I remember forking over $300 for the first Voodoo 1 card. It made Descent 2 a WHOLE new game. Probably the best $300 I ever spent on a computer upgrade ever.

    I still have two 12MB voodoo 2's and SLI cable (or whatever they called the technology).

    The GeForce 4 Ti 4600 was a great card too, for quite a while.

    I disagree on certain cards (Over time the 8500 did beat the GF3 Ti500 and even matched with the Ti4200), and the 5870 itself should have been in there, but yes a nice walk down memory lane.
