And the Voodoo Rush was a 2D/3D card that came out a little before that (August 1997, compared to the Banshee in late-1998). I didn't own either, mind, my only 3dfx card was a Voodoo 3 2000 PCI :D

Ah, you're absolutely right. Forgot about the Voodoo Rush. I was a poor kid and couldn't afford either.

Oh me too - my motherboard had no AGP slot (hence the V3 2000 PCI). If I was smart I would've saved up for a few months, bought a more future-proof motherboard (I was on the dying Socket 7 platform, with an AMD K6-2 466MHz) and I would've had a nice little setup that would've kept me going for a while. But I was an impatient kid, and I wanted to play Quake 3 and ended up doing piecemeal upgrades over the next few years that ultimately cost me more overall :D
