I was slightly too young to get one, but I remember them coming out. I didn't get my first GPU until AGP became a thing, when I was able to get a Voodoo Banshee (which was the 3rd? Generation) from these guys.

I loved the banshee.

Everyone mocked me for the idea of having one graphics card that can do both the 2D and 3D at once. Clearly an idea that'd never catch on

Also had a Banshee and it was the greatest thing ever at the time. Previously I had an S3 Virge with 2Mb or 4Mb memory for 2D only. You can imagine the improvement.
