I have about 15, but 10 of them are in each one of the 10 computers I use daily. one in each computer. Why would you have more than one for a single computer ?

1 PNY 6800 GT. I had a spare ATI Rage mobility card but I decided to destry it this last weekend because I was bored. It was a bad card anyways. In BIOS screen's and DOS is would have artifacts and I tried to use it the other day in my parents system and it had the artifacts in windows too so I killed it with a wrench and some pliers.

I sell my cards I don't use anymore while they are still worth money.

just one. Radeon 9600.

depending on how well it runs The Sims 2, I might buy a new card, in which case my old one would go to charity (aka: my roommate).

Two. I just replaced a Diamond Stealth III S540 Savage 4 (32MB) with a dualhead Matrox Millennium G450 LX (16MB). I do no gaming, so I need nothing more.

I use to save all of my old cards, now I just keep a single PCI card as a backup and toss out the rest.

Three at the moment.

I sell my old ones, as i see no need to keep a stash of them.
