GeForce 8800GT
A good 10 years of video card history there. Averages out 1 card a year, although the Voodoo 1 wasn't really a video card per sae more of a video accelerator that worked with your existing hardware. Still it makes the list for being so ground breaking, GTX295 SLI my kisss my arse, Voodoo 1, that's were it's at!

I almost wet myself lolz plan on keeping it for 3 years - so until july 2011 - and let it grow old gracefully like all those 8800GTX owners have been able to do)
