Ahh but it came into it's own when the first x86 computers arrived and you could write your own batch startup files to allocate memory on boot to actually do things!!

Yes but most of the transistors on the 6800 are used for infinity cache 128mb, it's more RAM than GPU... watch the quiet ones wake up now and defend it ..
Yes but IS 32k memory enough?

Yep no touch typing on that.
HAHA .. exactly... Tip you didn't set the dual tape deck to the correct levels for bass and treble when you copied it
The youngsters now have it so easy really.
At my first job the place I worked at was using a CNC machine that used punched tape and one had punched card. The one with a 720k floppy was like something from the future
What CNC machine did you use and when. I operated a CNC saw in 1978 but it was new and it never had a punched card even a old CNC router in the late 1990's which was old used note pad in windows 3.1.?
And allocating IRQs for your hardware addons and CD drives that required a sound card to be connected to your computer and never worked right because of IRQs not set right.
I remember when Plug and Play came out .. Plug and Pray as most of us called it then, look now ask the youngsters what a IRQ is.. no idea ...but of course the OS does everything now with the motherboard BIOS.
Days of fighting with hardware just to make it work are over .
Yer now you fight the vendors and scalpers to get hardware, battle field just moved
But jesus yer man i remember them days, good times, learnt allot loved it all.
I remember that, and glide that could be a problem sometimes on certain games.
I didn't use the CNC I was a computer coordinator lol, my first job at 18 for a company that was making fume cupboards and using cnc machines to cut and make the panels. I was down there that day on shop floor to save the floppy's that got covered in the stuff on the factory floor for the cnc that used floppies, the operator tried to make them work and was on his last backup and I took the disk got my Amiga CDTV to work with a portable tv and used X-copy to make some new copies because the cnc was destroying the disks because of the drive covered in something. I saved the day
, was very last disk he had too with the backup and took drive out of cnc and cleaned it out and all worked.BTW the CNC didn't use DOS so couldn't backup on a pc, but anyone that used X-copy will know that thing will copy anything.

I think the CNC saw in 1978 was floppy's but cannot remember.
I had v64 from sapphire it's not far off 5700xt performance in many titles. Great card specially when u can buy it cheap. Got mine for 320€ brand new in late 2018
I loved Elite, but I played it on an Acorn electron.
Glide was least of my problems then it was all the different types of soundcards required to make the game sound right and nice, until creative came out and said well we do them almost all. Now they compain they have micro stutter at 300fps+ lol when we were lucky with most games to get 15fps and some you could actually see the screen refresh from top to bottom.

LOL, yes I remember them days.

I can't believe that thread "10GB vram enough for the 3080? Discuss.." is almost at 50 pages and they are still arguing about it instead of using their cards to game 
. Sat there watching cached memory in most cases . I need to show them some error messages that come up when a game really runs out of memory for use and how some will not start up at all unless you reduce resolution or settings.
