My dad had an office PC that I secretly put a sound card and graphics card in. He would have gone mad if he knew I had done that to his work machine! I had very little idea what I was doing, but firing up Carmageddon 2 and having it run buttery smooth is something that sticks in my mind still.

Wouldn't that graphics card have shown its own logo during booting, as that was usual at the times? BIOS-extension, and such?
It might have done, but that was roughly the age of the Voodoo 2, which kicked in only when needed for 3D and was literally disconnected from the monitor the rest of the time.
