FX5200 128MB (big mistake)
6600GT (currently in my backup rig)
7900GT (my current gaming rig)
TNT2 16MB
Geforce 2 64MB

XFX Nvidia MX 4000
ATi Radeon 9500 Pro (got messed up)
ASUS Nvidia FX5800 (sold)
ATi Radeon 9700 <-current
ATi Pro Turbo 64
XFX Nvidia MX 4000
ATi Radeon 9500 Pro (got messed up)
ASUS Nvidia FX5800 (sold)
ATi Radeon 9700 <-current
For on board I like Intel Graphics .. stable and good drivers plus they are good for notebooks .. for cards let the list speak for it's self
1. unknown
2. unknown
3.unknown
4. Ati Rage pro (on board ) - drivers made me so mad that i never plan to get another ATI card
5. Intel (on board )
6. Nvidia 5200
7.nvidia 5750 (pci E)
8 Nvidia 6600
9. Nvidia 7900
all other are going to be Nvidia as well unless nvidia F**ks up good. but i do have to say that the drivers for the ATI tv tuner 550 are good so i might go back but unlikely.

ATI 7000 <-- Still have it in a box...
ATI 9250 <-- Still running with my Athlon 2200+
ATI x700 <-- Was goin to replace the 9250, but I didn't feel like replacing PSU , so I returned it...
Nvidia 7900GT <-- Current card..
Next Card <-- Plan on goin ATI again, not that the 79 was bad Im just partial to ATI, and twards AMD.. plus Im really anticipating r600
Im not so rich and I don't work, so I don't have alot to buy cards..

Nice thread!
Mine is as follows, with the Memory Size/CPU speed/Memory in brackets to show how far things have moved on:
Voodoo 1 (4MB/50MHz/50MHz)
Voodoo 2 (12MB/90MHz/90MHz)
Voodoo 2 in SLI - Quake 2 at 1024x768!!
Geforce 256 DDR (32MB/120MHz/300MHz)
Geforce 3 TI200 (64MB/175MHz/400MHz)
Radeon 9700 PRO (128MB/325MHz/650MHz)
Radeon X800XL (256MB/400MHz/1000MHz)
Radeon X1800XT (256MB/625MHz/1500MHz)
Far, far the most impressive purchase of course was the Voodoo 1. It was truly amazing to see Quakeworld in OpenGL for the first time compared to software 3D.
Hmm, just noticed that I bought 3 3dfx, then 2 Nvidia, then 3 ATI. Must be time to switch allegiances again

voodoo 4 32meg <-- 3dfxGlide, how do i miss it, bought for UT the original one
Nv geforce 2 64 <-- Loved it, burnt it out OC though
Nv Geforce 4 4200ti 128 <-- Burnt out aswell ....
Nv FX 5700 256 xfx <-- still works, My all time favorite card dont know why.
ATI 9600 256 < funny story, \/
NV 7600 GS 256 eVGA <-- So i hated my ATI, i went to the store and i thought hmmm...... Thats a good price on a 7600, so i bought it. Soon i got the bright idea of removing the stickers and putting them on the Ati card. Returned the ati card and got a free 7600!
And these puppys should be coming in 2 days.
mmmmm
2 XFX 7950gt 256 SLi.....

Trident ISA card... no idea how much RAM. Hazard a guess at 1MB?
Creative Riva TNT PCI 16MB. Blew me and my brother away. Shipped with a copy of Forsaken, which we never got to play since I was 9 and he was 10.
ELSA Erazor III Riva TNT2 32MB AGP 4x card. Oh yeah, baby. My brother got a GeForce 2 MX400 64MB for his rig. My dad had an ATi Rage IIc 8MB(don't ask - horrible).
Some abysmally crappy Hercules Prophet II something-or-other card. Only card I've ever owned with a HSF.
ATi Radeon 9000 64MB DDR. Loved this one, served me well for a couple years. Played Halo and other "new" titles decently.
ATi Radeon 9250 128MB DDR. Again, played games like FarCry and Republic Commando decently.
Integrated GeForce 6100 w/ 128MB shared RAM. Oh, the horror. Can't wait to get another card (hopefully an 8600 Ultra this summer).

Ok here is I am sure the shortest list ever considering I have had a pc for 9 years. I dont count the 8088 that I shared with my mom.
Ok I started with:
Voodoo 2 (dont remember the specs) then
Geforece to 32MB card and now the current one I have
Ati 9600 I belive.
Now lets see someone beat that short list for a 9 year period

S3 8mb
Intel 945G onboard (Played CS on this with Dial up for 2 years)
XFX FX 5200 128mb PCI (I could play ZH!)
Gainward 6800GT GS Ultra/2400 256mb (this card still serves me well but it's being sold as part of a full system) $700 AUD!
HiS X1950Pro 256mb in the mail
The X1950pro is just to hold me out till R600 and G80 revisions come along then I'm going crazy like I did with my 6800

I've owned a Geforce MX4000 too. I wanted to play ET but my Nvidia TNT2 wouldn't work on it. So I went to Wal-mart and the card was like 80$ so I was like this has got to be good. Wish I would a researched, or knew how to then. I found out later that on newegg you could of got that card for like nothing.
So my history is:
TNT2
Mx4000
X850XT
In a few days X1950XT
