Soundblaster Pro, I think? First videocard was integrated, I'm pretty sure, but first one bought was probably Voodoo2.

 

[Tobolo]

Voodoo 3 which I later piggy backed with a second Voodoo 3. That was some power there baby!

I believe Creative Labs SoundBlaster Pro and Maxtor Mystique 2MB ($200) so I could play Tomb Raider in 3D acceleration. Worked pretty good, though it didn't have even simple bilinear filtering, so there were squares everywhere. Still loved that game.

 

[Kaervak]

Whatever was in a Compaq Presario 4112. That damn thing could actually run Quake II fairly well.

 

[ElFenix]

first upgrade? pure 3d for video card. first sound upgrade was a turtle beach santa cruz. previously i'd just used what was in the computer (AWE32 and aureal vortex)

I don't remember the sound and video card that came with my first computer when I was starting college. I just remember that the video card came with a grand total of 4MB RAM

The first two parts that I actually bought *after* I got that computer were a Creative Labs RIVA TNT and an SB-Live! soundcard.
