This is gonna be a pretty short list.

 

Sapphire Radeon X850XT - Mt first and only graphics card purchase. I saved for almost a year to buy this, 1GB RAM, and retail copy of Half-Life 2 way back in 2005. Been using it since then.

S3 Virge VX 4Mb - bought it when I built my first pc back in 1997 - think it cost like $40 at the time.

+ Monster 3D II 8Mb (I think it was 8Mb) - thought I was rocking with the S3 and Monster card!

Voodoo3 3000 32Mb - this card sucked, I just didn't know it at the time

ATI Radeon LE 32Mb - LOVED this card! After using the Voodoo3 for over a year, the Radeon was a breath of fresh air. Was flashed and modded to a Radeon 7000/7500

ATi Radeon 9600 Pro 128Mb - Just when I was about to take the plunge and buy a 9700 Pro, ATi stopped making them which sent them into a bidding war

GeForce 6600 GT 128Mb - Didn't really like this card at all, back then nVidia was having some driver issues

ATi Radeon x800 GTO2 128Mb - Flashed to a X850 XT PE, possibly the best card I've ever owned

ATi Radeon x1950 XT 256Mb - LOUD and hot, I wasn't impressed

GeForce 8800 GT 512Mb - This was a great card

ATi Radeon 4850 512Mb - This ties with the 8800 GT for the second best card I ever owned

This brings back memories. Here's my list from my own computer and the family computer.

 

First there was a bunch of really crappy cards that I don't remember... then:

 

Voodoo Banshee (Creative Labs 3D Blaster - my first true 3D card, I was so psyched back then!!)

Nvidia Riva TNT

Nvidia Geforce2 MX400

Nvidia Geforce4 MX400 (Asus)

Nvidia Geforce4 MX460 (AOpen)

ATI Radeon 9200 (Sapphire)

Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4600 (Albatron)

Nvidia 6600GT (EVGA)

Nvidida 9600GT (Palit)

 

Hoping to get a HD5770 soon! Or a HD5850 if I save up enough spare change...

Man, it seems like there's been alot of love for the X850 here, guess it goes to show what a well made card it was at the time, it still pretty much plays any SM2 game you can throw at it.
