Indeed.  I remember going from EGA to VGA...Whoa, So many colors!  Going from a basic no-name sound card to an SB Audigy; game music and SFX came alive.  Increased RAM; Quake now ran butter smooth, and with the VGA upgrade, it was almost like playing a whole new game.

Everything was new and exciting back then.  I think the last time I came close to that feeling was in 2007 when I joined Second Life, a 3D virtual world, which I'm still a "citizen" of.
