2. Rendition Verite 1000
3. added Matrox M3D (PowerVR) to Verite 1000
4. Rendition Verite 2200 (first AGP card)
5. added 3DFX Voodoo1 to Verite 2200
6. 3DFX Voodoo3 3000 (PC system was stolen shortly afterwards)
7. Nvidia TnT2 M64 + 3DFX Voodoo2 12MB SLI

10. ATI Radeon 9000
11. Nvidia GF3 Ti200
12. Nvidia GF4 Ti4400

This is gonna be embarassing.... because I have to wonder what actually IS a
'3D card' in the early days.
