The Quadros were the bomb back in the day!.
Man, does that ever bring me back.
Oh yeah, I remember the LC was 'Low Cost' and lacked the FPU, and EC was 'Embedded Controller' and lacked both the FPU and PMMU - they were all still very expensive, though!
Those systems were built like tanks, and to this day, I always wanted a Quadro 700 since it was the one that Dennis Nedry used in the first Jurassic Park movie.
Forgot all about the Mac clones back then - those are actually pretty tough to find now and can go for a pretty penny.
I actually don't remember ever seeing Copland with its multithreading capabilities back then - don't know how I missed out on that one.
So it basically was competing against OS 8 & 9, then?

Wait didn't doom 3 come out during the 6800gt series of cards?
That's right!Doom was August of 04 and the 6000 series was mid 04. I vaguely remember somewhat of a rivalry with Doom between the X800 and 6800 crowds.
Funny thing is, I don't remember much of the rivalry in question, but Doom 3 skirts the biggest disparity between GeForce 6800 and Radeon X800/X850: only the former supports Direct3D 9.0c/Shader Model 3.0.Doom was August of 04 and the 6000 series was mid 04.

I sure don't miss CrossFire master/slave cards, that's for sure, though SLI seemed janky back then.That's right!
Back when SLI and Crossfire were both in their very first iteration, no less.
Games back then we still single-threaded as well - the AMD FX-55 (and later FX-57) was the king single-core CPU back in those days.
