I bought way too many GeForce 6200s, so now I've gotta inflict my fiscal irresponsibility on you, the unsuspecting viewer!
Join me as we take a look at the graphics card that redeemed the budget category, for a generation at least!

I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

The 68NC040 was a version of Motorola's 68040 that lacked an FPU, MMU, and CPU - and came in a convenient weight-saving package that also used almost 15% less power.

I warned you, man! The Lisa has been the one computer I've worked on by a wide margin that would throw me the STUPIDEST of roadblocks in an attempt to _just not stay running._

Just a PSA for whoever might need it: Recognize there is only so much you can take in. Awareness of what's happening around you is important, but learn to turn it off when it becomes too much to process. Disconnect, and take a step back. Let the waves rest. Your own preservation is important too.

Really good talk and insightful questions, with a guy who is always one of the most refreshingly frank and honest voices in the field. (He's actually willing to say 'I don't know' sometimes!) Worth a watch!
I Interviewed Intel's Tom Petersen and we talked all Things Arc/Battlemage, XeSS 3, Frame Generation, Smoothness, Game Stutters, and how Intel will be approaching Advanced Shader Delivery for its users. Really amazing answers from Tom here, do watch!

Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? @yyzkevin.com's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/

I was going to be a bit more celebratory today with getting the last video of the year finished and stuff, then it got dropped on me pretty hard this morning that over the weekend we lost an icon in the world of tech reporting.

Stewart Cheifet and Gary Kildall were regular guests on my television growing up. The Computer Chronicles always made me feel like I was a part of this impossible dream of being a Silicon Valley insider. Thank you, Mr. Cheifet.

NOOOOOOOO GODDAMMIT!!
What an unbelievably terrible parting shot for a terrible year! Shit, man!
Such a seminal figure, not just in reporting on computer technology, but in data preservation, and so much more. Many times I'd dream of getting to talk to him, unlikely as it was, but now I never will.

Aw man 😞 Rest in peace Mr Cheifet, host of Computer Chronicles: obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/stewart-chei...
What a legend. His work in both presenting and preserving the early days of computer history has been (and will continue to be) deeply appreciated! My condolences to his family and friends.

And that's it for both holiday videos and LGR overall in 2025. Have a happy new year and I look forward to getting back to more LGR things in January 🎉

OK, VLB cards, cool technology. 32-bits. Backwards compatible. Neatness.
Freakin PITA(!) to actually remove and especially insert. Not only do they need to be forced near the point of breaking to put in, but they have to be seated PERFECTLY to function. So too often I have to reseat it.
Not a fan.
