Ancient Video/Sound Cards

[Kelemvor]

Howdy all,

I was cleaning out today and found all kinds of old PC parts that I've kept "just in case" I ever needed a backup. However most of these are long past their prime. Is there anything to do with them other than throw them out? Not sure if people collect old things like this or anything...

Here's what I found:

Creative Labs - AWE64

Well, you can use ATI's trade-up program with the video cards:

Dunno about the others.

That is not ancient. I got an Adlib sound card pre-Soundblaster days fits an ISA port and have the original driver disk and MIDIs with some of the popular theme shows and manual and box.

I have all sorts of goodies too in my computer graveyard...

Obsidian X-24, Nvidia Riva, Creative Voodoo2 8mb pci, ISA SB16, pci 2mb Trident videocard(woot, take that 1mb owners), and newer stuff like an Elsa GF2Ultra and SB Live! cards laying around. I find it hard to throw away the old stuff because it brings back memories.
