it'd have to be my 6600gt, since its the first video card i bought (my compy had a 9200 before that, but i didnt like it).
7800GT that was such a beautiful card.
I didn't like my 9800pro too much, but when it comes down to it my ultimate favorite was the 78.

Hmmm...not sure of my all time favorite but some that I have enjoyed more than others are Ti4200, Ti4600, 5900U, 9800Pro 256, and my current favorite is the 7800GS CO Superclock. Next rig will see me using the PCIe cards.

VooDoo 3 3000.....It came with Unreal when I bought it and the "fly by" on the opening screen just blew me away. The graphics are obviously far beyond that now but nothing has ever struck me the way that card did for the wow factor.
I still run a 450Katmai on a bx board with that card. My kids (and me) still love to play Unreal, Quake, half Life, Soldier of Fortune and all the old glide games on it. Glide is still cool. I do miss the gameplay of the old school games.

Never had more headaches with a card I loved so much.
Was like a fine wine, if you drank it right away, it was terrible. A year down the line, and it was hanging in there with cards released that it shouldn't have been anywhere near.
My GeForce 2 GTS was pretty sweet as well, first video card I overclocked. Used the little registry trick documented here at AT when they put out such articles.

classic card: TNT2 32 mb, b/c it came in our 1999 Dell that had roughly XPS specs by standards back then (1 GHz PIII, 512 mb RAM, 60 GB HDD, 8x CDRW, etc)
modern card: 7800/7900GT-amazing performance for the money, and I'll probably end up getting one of these for my summer build if prices drop enough

3DFX Voodoo2 - this is the card I sort of cut my teeth on with my first build and it was just good, everything that my research had indicated it would be
Geforce 256 DDR 64mb - my first card that featured hardware T&L (remember what a big deal that was??)

I'm gonna have to go with the original:
3Dfx Voodoo 1
Nothing has ever been as exciting as seeing Quake 1 at a blazing 30fps at a no-jaggies-huge 640x480 for the first time.
Geforce 1 DDR comes a very close second though. It's the card that made me finally switch to NVidia, and I loved it to death (literally)
