wow man where did you get the money from? :eek:
 
i'll combine several of my older posts since this is the 3rd time in the last few months a similar thread has been posted:

pre-good:
1. MGA clone
2. Plantronics-compatible 16-color CGA card

pre-PCI EGA/VGA era:
3. ATI EGA Wonder (I still have it)
4. various 16-bit ISA VGA cards by Oak, Trident, etc
5. different VLB VGA cards by Orchid, Trident, S3

PCI 2D era:
6. S3 ViRGE

PCI 3D era:
7. WD Paradise 3D accelerator (not DX compatible, I still have it)
8. Diamond Stealth II S220 Rendition v2100 chip
9. 3dfx Voodoo1

AGP 3D era:
10. various AGP V2200 cards (Hercules, Inno3D, etc)
11. STB Velocity 128
12. TNT1
13. Voodoo 2
14. Voodoo 2 SLI
15. TNT2 Ultra
16. Voodoo 3 1000
17. Voodoo 3 3000
18. GeForce 256 DDR
19. GeForce 2 GTS
20. Radeon 8500
21. GF3 Ti200
22. GF4 Ti4200
23. Radeon 9700
24. Radeon 9800
25. FX 5900
26. 6800GT

PCI-E 3D era:
27. 6600GT
28. x700 Pro
29. 6600GT (again :p)
30. (so i won't have to update this post) x800 XL if ATI ships it next month

... and a lot of junk/decent cards in secondary/laptop systems (Trident, S3, GF2/4MX, virtually anything under $50, integrated, etc). I don't even know how to squeeze in some of the decent cards that should be listed above from my HT (5700 Ultra, AIW 9700 Pro, AIW 9800, etc) and laptops (mobile Ti4200/Go 4200, 9600 Pro Turbo, etc). I've had a lot more than that above in my main systems, but those are the cards I kept for at least a month.

Well I usually have some kind of discount hookup somewhere. Plus I don't really spend money on much else. It also helps that I work two jobs. :) Computers have been my hobby for along time.

Sadly I am not as bad about buying computer hardware as I used to be. Car payments and all of that.

VGA
Generic Super VGA (800x600x256 colors, forget the vendor)
Thunder and Lightning (Cirrus chipset for graphics, first 32 bit color card I had, also had integrated SoundBlaster compatible audio and was my first soundcard)
Diamond Speedstar VESA Local Bus (I think it had 4 meg of RAM!)
ATI Mach32*
Matrox Millenium

Geforce 256 DDR**
Geforce 2 GTS 64 Meg*
Geforce 4 Ti4600*

* Still in production machine
