Yup! The BP6 and the VP6 from Abit. Good memories!

Remember old boards from Epox? Or the TNT2 ultra?

But yeah my favorite was getting SMP for free using celerons when they weren’t supposed to be able to do it.




Yes, the Abit BP6 was the one! Nestled inside an InWin Q500 full tower case[0]. I was a pretty big Voodoo guy initially. I already had a Voodoo3 but I was working at CompUSA and befriended the Creative Labs rep. He fixed it so I got the TNT2U and I was impressed. I flipped back and forth on the two based on game optimization. When GeForce hit the ground I never looked back.

The late 90s/early 2000s were exciting times for PCs.

3Dfx had the best looking box art by far.
