50Mhz, 420MB harddrive, 4MB RAM. It was awesome.
I kid you not I had that same computer growing up! Weird! Was it a horizontal desktop with curvy light grey plastic trim on the bottom? Came with Mega Race?

On Topic: $530 for 4870x2

I paid $300 dollars for a Diamond Monster 3D II (3Dfx Voodoo II 12MB PCI).

Edit: I got every penny back as pure action in Quake 2 accelerated with Glide.

I also spent roughly that amount on The Godfather, an Asus L1N64-WS. A 2 socket AMD opteron motherboard, it was the baddest motherboard I've ever had.

Most ever spent on one item was the X2, $550 from Newegg.



Reminds me of the Voodoo 3DFX card with 4MB RAM onboard that need to be used in confunction with a second video card. Both were PCI ofcourse. That was AWSOME playying the first Tomb Raider. The game looked completely different.

In the new decade, friends, we will look back at the first few pages of this thread and laugh our asses off thanks to Moore's Law.

The most I've ever payed for a part for myself (I've spent other people's money many, many times, up to $200) is $85 for my *cough* 8800gs.
