You know now that I think about it, it could have been a 17 MB card. Sorry my mistake:)(Still pretty good for a 17 MB card though)

 

/edit: No, it was a 7 MB voodoo. I needed a 16 MB card to play a game back then. And I couldnt play it till I got my 32 MB radeon. So yeah, they did have 7 MB cards back in 1999.

Lies. There never was a 7 mb or 17mb card of any kind. Chip makers have always kept to the multiples standard of doubling the previous chip.

 

Hence, 2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512

 

Never any odd numbered video cards, and if you say otherwise PPOR (post proof or retract)

Do you like Voodoo???????:p

I feel I should point out it would be impossible to have a 7 MB Graphics card. This is because of the way computers count.

 

2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, etc...

 

If you did have a 7 MB one, or 300 MB of RAM a computer would probably cease to work.

What do you make of this picture then?

I just want to point out that I am not saying that they make 31.0 MB video cards. I am saying this is what I see in DirectX diag, hense this is why I said I had a 7 MB video card:)

I have no idea, I'd just say it's faulty.

I doubt it is actually 31 MB card, but actually 32 MB.

 

Same with 7, I'd say it actually means 8 MB.

It's subtracting one from what it actually is?

I think what he's trying to prove is because his computer sucks (no offense) he can play JKA and look decent , and while playing on a 1024 x 768, Which is good, which encourages people with the same type of graphics card/memory, etc. situation to actually buy the game.

 

 

I love this guy, he's so happy all the time, lol.

No, memory can't be odd. Its got something to do with the pins, right? I don't think it could fit in the slot properly without the right ammount of pins. Maybe not, thats just my guess.

 

Your RAM/Video Memory is just leaked. Heat and stuff like that corrupt it a little bit so it only reads 7 MBs instead of 8 (I THINK). For example:

 

My computer says it has 502 RAM. In reality it has 512. Its just not reading 10 MBs of the RAM. Jedi Academy says I have 503 RAM. It also says I am running Direct X 9.0A when the Direct X Diagnostic Tool says I am running 9.0C.
