My first was an Amiga, and you used a tv for a monitor. I dont know what the video card was, some onboard thing. Then I had a Packard bell with an onboard cirrus logic 1meg
creative graphics blaster 4 meg
voodoo 1
diamond stealth 32 meg
voodoo 2
S4 16 meg
voodoo 3 3000
geforce2 mx
and I still have all of them, in computers around here, or in family computers

------------------
if you are listenin to me.....you've got problems

[Star-Creator]

Only and just only one I possess.

Voodoo 3000. (DEC 1999, if I am not mistake)

[blinky]

Just PC's

Matrox Mystique 220 4Mb (PCI) - used for many years. Still got it, it'll go in a Linux box at some point.

Matrox m3D 2Mb addon PowerVR - crap drivers -sold!

OEM Voodoo 2 12Mb addon - used for a few years. Just sold to help pay for upgrades.

OEM Viper 770 32Mb AGP card. My first AGP card. Recently sold to help pay for upgrades.

OEM Geforce 2MX 32Mb AGP card. My current Gfx card. Good for up to 1024x768x16. Can't afford to change it anyway (and I might be emigrating).

Also got a Acerlabs ISA Gfx card - handy for troubleshooting and a Geforce SDR 32Mb which I got for nothing (long story....)

[KilrB]

PCI Virge S3 Savage (Still have it )
TNT2 M64 AGP 32MB(not a bad card)
VooDoo 3 2000
VooDoo 3 3000 w/tv out
Elsa GeForce 256(Power hungry dog)
Creative Labs GeForce2 GTS(my current card)

Wanting more features in a video card here lately so i'm planning on getting an ATI Radeon 64MB VIVO SE .

then VESA 2 MB SVGA (S3 chip?),
then added Voodoo gfx 6 MB (Miro Hiscore 3D),
Typhoon 12 MB Voodoo2, then Voodoo2 SLI
then Elsa Gladiac 32 (GF2GTS)

I started out with Cirrus Logic onboard, with a whopping 512K. Windows 3.1 in 256 colors never looked so good

Then...
Diamond Stealth 2000 ( 4mb, ViRGE, ewwwww )
Hercules Thrller 3D ( 4mb, Rendition v2200 ). Quake. 640x480. 30fps. I loved that card.
STB Velocity 4200, Riva TNT
Matrox G400
Matrox G400 MAX ( got it cheap, if you believe that )

*** Now courting potential replacement for G400 MAX. Must provide good 2D quality and better 3D performance. Anyone? Anyone? ... Put your hand down, Matrox. ***

Kudos for the unexpected:
Trident 3DImage 975, for having better 2D quality than my old TNT and anything prior, despite having the 3D performance of a zucchini. Real cheap too
