        My first “multimedia” computer back in '99 had an integrated SiS VGA card, with an amazing 8MB video RAM.

        Before that, my computer was a keyboard-only monochrome 386 with windows 3.1

        Yes, my back is killing me but my knees are surprisingly ok.

      There was a 15 minute window where the 735 was the best Socket A chipset on the market.

      Unfortunately, they couldn’t get past cheapo ECS mainboards.

      Thank you for the memory! The first “retail” card I ever purchased (from a small town computer shop), literally just said AGP Graphics Adapter on the box… and inside was a delightfully generic SiS board, with which I had many fun hours.
