i've had:
voodoo (not an option
), TNT, radeon 9200, 6800 Gt, 7900GS
my family has: GMA, GMA, GMA, nvidia 6100 IGP and reused the 9200 I had. Also, i have no clue what the hell our older stuff used, we had 486 and Pentium pros, no clue as to what they used, i can only remember the voodoo we had in the family box that i played doom and eventually mechwarrior on......
And planning on a 58xx when they come out with some nice third party cooling options and prices drop a little from the rush at the start.

I voted ATI 02-06 since I'm still using my P4 with my X850 Pro, but I started putting together my new rig last night with an HD 4890 which should be finished in about 2 weeks (need to wait for one more paycheck to buy my PII X4 955/965, not sure which one yet).

I don't know yet, I've heard that they are the exact same, and I've also heard that they are binned higher. I don't know what to believe on this one, since I'd really like to believe that they are binned higher, but I'm just not sure. We'll see when I get my paycheck. But I bet I will splurge and go with the 965 in a sort of impulse buy kind of thing, just like I did with my HSF. I planned on getting a Xig Dark Knight, but I had some extra cash, and i just couldn't resist the thought of a Thor's Hammer with two Ultra Kaze's in push/pull, so I ended up spending like $80 instead of the planned $40.

Trust me, I have. But I've also read other reviews that say that it is binned slightly higher, and that they were able to push it further than their 955's that they had.

The 955 hit 7.1Ghz recently.... Dont worry about the 965 being binned to a higher degree since you wont reach those speeds anyways.....

haha, I'm not worried about that kind of overclock, I'm just talking about the 3.7-3.9 Ghz wall that many 955 owners hit on air, since mine will be cooled on air, which many reviewers hit as well. Whereas some of the reviewers and owners were hitting 4.1 or 4.2 on air with the 965.

No, I do not trust Newegg reviews at all. All those are good for are some good laughs. I really liked the reviews that gave the 955 1 egg because they were unaware of CnQ haha. I'll think about it though since anyone can appreciate another $50 in their wallet these days, but like I said, its the last component of my build, and I will get enough money on my paycheck to afford the 965 and live comfortably til my next paycheck so it will be hard not to buy it

wow i've always heard of console wars.. but video card wars? haha. im getting an ATI Radeon 4870, but I am no fanboy. If nVidia made the Radeon 4870, I would still get it (assuming it was just as good)
