As long as you are not dumping a big chunk of your savings on these, nice hobby.

I have a box of those old geforce cards. Also Matrox millennium cards. Hell, I still have my ISA hercules card from the late 80s.

I'm thinking of getting the first iPhone on ebay, because it's the first phone with a GPU, but I've been looking at disembly videos and I can't find the GPU.

I now have the GTX 8800 and GTX 8800m which are the first desktop and laptop GPUs with "CUDA".

But...were they the first ones made in Los Angeles during 1994?

I now have the first android phone, the HTC Dream.

I'm going to try to take it to a computer shop to take out the GPU in it.

I actually still have my old HTC Eris, and it still works. It has a custom ROM on it.

If it works, don't ruin it.

On a phone SoC, the GPU is not a separate chip.

Just before PCI, there was a short life span for VL-Bus.

At first I thought I had the 8800m which is the first CUDA GPU on laptops, but I think I got ripped off because on eBay the title said "8800m" but doing research it seems it's not the 8800m


Now I have this one and I'm sure it's the right one.
