The good old days when you had just two choices and were either in the Riva TNT or the Voodoo club for a graphics card.

When you needed more than one voodoo card to be cool.

Mostly my shoulder tbh

A car parts store in my country has a very similar logo. As a kid I did confuse the graphics cards and car tyre companies.

In my case I misread "brand" for band.

The 9x00 Gen ATI cards were awesome. The 9500 could be modded into an honest to goodness 9700. The 9700 was just a downclocked 9700pro. The things you could do with bios mods and a little overclocking were just great.

My back gets sore just thinking about all the time I spent crawling around my PC case on the floor.
