5. Voodoo 2 SLI, Guillemot I believe (another classic)

Remembering back with the 486 if you had more than a few open , it would almost freeze !

LOL. You know my first pc had a HGA, running at 9.54Mhz with 512kb ram.
Then I moved into a CGA,EGA,VGA (those were the dayz...)
Lovin memories-> :beer: :moon:

Voodoo1
STB Velocity 4400
Voodoo2 SLI (the king)
Geforce 2 GTS
Geforce 5800
Radeon 9800pro

 

[Goi]

On my main rigs over the years:
Trident/Cirrus Logic 512KB-1MB video cards
S3 864 series
S3 Trio64
Leadtek Winfast S600 4MB with S3 Virge3D chipset
Diamond Stealth II S220 with Rendition V2100 chipset
Hercules Dynamite/TNT 16MB
3dfx Voodoo3 3000 16MB
ATI Radeon 9700Pro 128MB

I've also used various other cards, including ATI Radeon VE(aka 7000) 32MB, Hercules 3DProphet 8500 128MB, ATI Radeon 9600Pro on my HTPC and various 3DLabs, Matrox G400, and Abit Siluro GF4MX440 cards on my secondary rig.

 

[Mnementh]

Oh god here goes, bound to be many that I've forgotten I've had that many over the years.

Cirrus Logic (various different flvours) 1MB VLB
Diamond Stealth 64 2MB PCI and VLB (this card rocked in its day)
Matrox Millenium
Matrox Millenium II (one of my favourite ever cards)
Power VR Apocalypse 3D (Yes I know I made the mistake of choosing this over the Voodoo, I had it for about 2 months)
Matrox G400 &amp; G450
3DFX Voodoo 1 (can't remember manufacturer)
Diamond Monster Voodoo II (another great card for its time)
Sparkle Geforce 256 DDR (an absolute revelation for Quake II etc)
Creative Geforce 2 GTS (big mistake crap card)
MSI Geforce 4 Ti 4200 (my longest running card and now about to be put in my second machine)
Leadtek Geforce FX 5900 (Just been given this and it's blown my PSU up so I've just had to order a new one!!)

There's definitely a few I've forgotten in there!

I've just realised I've never owned an ATI card, though I was going to buy a 9800 Pro until I was given the 5900.

I'm gonna wait a few months before deciding on the next gen card of choice as I think the 5900 will last me for 4-6 months at least.
