The Picard Maneuver"Soundblaster" was such an 80s/90s name for a computer part.
ArbitraryValueNot the same thing, but I still have my old Voodoo 2 3D-accelerator card (not the same thing as a video card back then).
HornedMeatBeastI miss my Voodoo 2 3000 AGP card.
I got an ABIT Siluro/ Geforce 2 MX400 after that and Diablo 2 ran worse, the frame rate tanked. I was gutted.
Back in the day I tried to play Morrowind but every time I moved my mouse the game would crash, I started removing hardware until I found out it was my soundcard giving me issues, was an old ISA slot. Got a PCI soundcard after that and no issues.
Those were the days.
Shitty days, but days nonetheless, when PC gaming was the Dark Souls of gaming.
