Majin GeoDooD · Oct 18, 2005, 02:42 AM

Man, I have a couple old ATI cards, but not as old as some of you guys. No point in enterin for me

YAYitsAndrew · Oct 18, 2005, 02:50 AM

I don't want to be greedy, I have an old mach64 pci card laying around but I already won something off driverheaven.

Anyone wanna buy it off me

I saw some older cards in here already anyway

Lowfat · Oct 18, 2005, 02:53 AM

I have like 5 ATI old PCI cards. Don't know what they are but the max resolution is 1024X768@16bit. and that is 2D. I don't think they do 3d.

MindlessOath · Oct 18, 2005, 02:54 AM

i still dont see some really old stuff being commented... just think if you have a rage or mach card that its still wayyyyyyy later in tthe ati market. i remember my first computer given to me... i think it was an 8088... the motherboard is gone but the hardware inside is still around. plus i have a couple of older computers than that, but im not sure which ones have ati cards, just that one. i do belive ati released some earlier cards before the time of the 8088 if im not mistaken.

remember ati was out before the time of PCI... some of you guys just lost :P

SeraphicSorcerer · Oct 18, 2005, 03:43 AM

Ati's first PRODUCTION BOARD was the ega wonder+ ISA It was THEIR FIRST stand alone card. I mean, Whoever commented that it came ouit in 1988, no it came out in 1987, and ATI was formed in 1985.

It was their first board. Remember they needed capital, R&D to make one.

Nvidia was founded in 1993. by comparison, I have a rage but I know someone will/has bought that isa wonder... hotnickelloaf LOL =D Anyhow.

I really wish I could get that card, my 8500 just died a grizzly death

Excuse me for my bad english....

plague4711 · Oct 18, 2005, 10:12 AM

I have this card, must have been one of the first PCI boards there was. I dont know if its totally made by ATi cause it just gots a ATi chip on it. Its also green unlike the current RED they use.
I dont have it with me here, but its in my home country. I may ask one of my family memebers to take a pic and send it to me so I can post it.

starboy · Oct 18, 2005, 11:42 AM

da_bomber · Oct 18, 2005, 12:27 PM

I have some 3D Rage PCI card..

Card is green and soooooo small....xD

I got some pics on my pc too....

Rayder · Oct 18, 2005, 12:55 PM

The oldest ATI card we ever had was a AIW Rage 4meg PCI (I believe it was PCI

) . I don't know if it's still around or not. My bro always files that stuff away and he JUST left for work.

Besides, I doubt that would be the oldest card anyway.....

g35x · Oct 18, 2005, 01:57 PM

i have a rage pro....that wont win but i also have this really old ati card i have no clue what it is but my dad says its from 88....think ill win? lol replace my x800xl agp with a x1800xt =D at christmas im getting this mobo- http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813157081

coldfrontt · Oct 18, 2005, 02:54 PM

I have a Rage II using the PCI Mach64 GT chipset, Part# 109-38200-00, S/N SC 6 49 61603 but no digital camera to take a photo of it. Would a photo copy of the card work?

Card seems to be dated 1996.

you are right abt the EGA Wonder but the card on Ebay was a VGA Wonder+ from 1988. So if somebody can find a EGA Wonder, you are assured of the prize !!!!

Well, I threw an old Hyundai 8088-era PC away awhile ago now that had an ATI video card, and it was only CGA/MDA/Hercules compatible which seems to be earlier than that....definitely had an ATI sticker on it....possiby an ATI "Graphics Solution" ISA card, and probably older than an EGA Wonder. You just never know what you should hang onto.

ViRuS2k · Oct 18, 2005, 07:35 PM

lol

I would advise against getting that motherboard. ASrock is a poor brand. I've never known anyone to have one work properly. I'm not even joking. They are really that bad.

Perhaps...this motherboard gets decent reviews, however...so, multiple review sites seem to be able to get it to work.

Edit: Ooops...this has gone off-topic...Sorry!

Interesting idea for a contest.

Here is a decent list of ATI's product history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_Technologies

I don't think I have any old ATI cards, although I have old cards from just about everyone else: Paradise (ISA), Tseng (ISA), Trident (ISA), S3 (PCI), 3dfx (AGP), and nVidia (AGP). My first IBM-compatible PC was a Wyse 286 with an EGA card once upon a time, but it was thrown out long ago and I don't know what brand the video card was.

I also don't have a PCIe-based computer yet, so a new ATI card wouldn't do me any good anyways until I upgrade next year.

Good luck to the contestants
