Well, friends, let's see. What are the graphics cards that you have used over the years since you got your first machine?:) For starters I will tell mine. My first graphics card was a Sis6326 4MB AGP 2X (I suppose). :( It was combined with a Celeron 400Mhz, 4.3GB HDD and 32MB SDRAM, which was my first machine way back in 1999. I used it from september 1999 to december 2000. Then I changed the graphics card in late 2000. It was a Asus TNT2 M64 32MB. I used it for about 2 years. Then my motherboard got busted and I bought a P4 1.7GHz with a Intel 845GV motherboard with on-board graphics in december 2002. I changed that again in June 2004 and have been using a XFX Geforce 5200 128MB AGP ever since combined with Asrock P4i45GV motherboard and 512MB DDR RAM.

do integrated gfx of 8086 era count? ;)

my first *discrete* video card was a Radeon 7500 for my Amd palomino system....changed to Fx5200 (probably an inno3d) after abt an hr and half ......surprisingly the performance benifit wasnt that drastic :(
the 5200 got busted and now i m on my leadtek 6600GT extreme :D

Nice topic :) First gfx card personally owned Trident 4Mb 9750 or something, then came Pine Riva TNT2 32 Mb, Worked on a Geforce 2 for some months- had got it from a relative who said the PC restarts coz of the gfx card, i just added a small fan on the heatsink and it worked fine, then i got a Asus Gf4 Mx440 64 Mb, and presently a 9800 Pro. Have all the cards with me still except the Trident one, a pc-vendor stole it along with a UPS. Sadly the Pine card doesnt work too, can see burnt marks on the Yellow PCB clearly.

Neglecting the onboards..

Wiz, where do you live? My friend badly wants the same card you are presently using (powercolor X800GT extreme). I had already started a separate thread for his query regarding his graphics card.

Can you kindly tell us from where and when did you buy this and what was the exact price?

Thanks very much in advance.
