PCI Cards: Do you remember? Do you use any now?

The firewire card is absent at the point this picture was taken. I've been considering putting my GTX 780 back in to act as a cuda processor and physx processor too. I'd also like to have 10Gbe at some point but the switches are still a little on the expensive side.


The old xonar card with daughter board and the AJA framstore.


The odd arrangement with the sas expander is due to the old 790FX motherboard not having enough PCIe slots of sufficient length left to fit the card into the board. (it's got two x16 slots, three x1 slots and then two pci)

Glorious mate. I’ll post mine as soon as I can.

I am that old sadly, my first PC a 486DX33 had one of these Cirrus Logic graphics cards in it...

512KB of graphics memory, ISA bus. Looks awful by modern standards!

A Cirrus Logic card which was just for graphics ... the luxury! .... my 486 (also a DX33) had a VESA slot (which was a massively long thing which when you put things into it you thought you were going to snap the motherboard in half) with a card which was Cirrus Logic graphics AND the IDE interface for the disk (which was 245MB)

Now I think, other than graphics cards, I'm pretty sure I just have a USB3 expansion card in an older system which needed a couple of ports ... but that box is getting new internals today.

In fact I put together a new system for my Dad over Christmas and he was shocked that there was no cards in it at all (was using a 2400g with integrated graphics).
