Diamond Stealth VLB....vesa local bus baby! wooo! the whistle goes woo woo! I think that one was 1Mb

Then came the Diamond V330, don't remember the ram on that 4Mb maybe? perhaps 8 i don't remember

Then I switvhed to a geforce SDR card, 32Mb

now I have a Leadtek Gefarce 4 4200 overclocked to 290/580 or some such
