Since 2000, I started with an integrated card, moved onto a Voodoo Banshee (which my mum still uses!), then to a NVIDIA 4200TC, and now I'm on a NVIDIA 6200.

I would like an 8800GTS but don't see any need to spend that kind of money when I'm not really big into gaming. I'll wait one or two years until the price plummets :D

Yeah, it's amazing lol We are the real nerds/geeks. I still remember all the specs of my first high-end PC I built in 1998! It had a SCSI Seagate Cheatah HDD with 15,000RPM and a 14.5 Nec LCD. I paid $1,500 for the LCD alone lol

then the radeon 9500 pro (whichc i returned the next day to futureshop after playing halo for pc)

radeon x700 pro agp 4x with tv in and out (tv capture edition)..honestly a good card that is loyal for all these years in terms of playing games and watching tv on your pc.
