I'm crying right now

i was only 12 years old when this guy cameout! What happened?! I had this card too!

RIP GUILLEMOT! You had crappy support though Cool box and hardcore performance kept me in though at times when asus offered the tempting 3d glasses w/ the samechipset

Wow. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while. I believe they got bought out by Hercules, who kept their model designation. Hercules later kinda disappeared too. I can't remember what happened to them

Holy crap! Brings back the memories.

They bought out hercules than kicked the bucket.

well they only rebadged stuff... not as bad a loss as S3 and 3dfx back in the days.

 

[Sensai]

aww.... i had the geforce 256 ddr - dvi version of the card back then

I had a 3D Prophet II/GeForce 2 GTS. I agree on the cool box, good stuff.

I bought one of their Voodoo Rush cards way back when. I couldnt' get it to work because my motherboard had integrated 2D video which could not be shut off. I had to trade the card in for an 8MB Voodoo 2.

Didn't Hercules get bought out by someone?

Edit: Apparently Hercules does more sound oriented stuff now. http://us.hercules.com/products/index.php3

Guillemot bought Hercules and primarily uses the Hercules name now or Hercules/Guillemot. If you'd bothered to try it, you'd have found that www.guillemot.com works.
