Brands that I have used:
[*]Intergraph (Wicked3D was nice, nothing wrong with the cards, both voodoo 2s still work)
[*]Creative Labs (VooDoo 2 that survived 5 years in a PC in a junior high class room)
[*]STB / 3dfx (voodoo3 works, 2 voodoo 5s still work, solid build)
[*]Rendition (Vertie v2200 still works)
[*]Matrox (millennium 2 works as well as the day it was bought)
[*]Sapphire (runs too hot, feels kinda cheap as well, other than that no problems)
[*]VisionTek (fan failed)
[*]ASUS (RMAed my 4200 about 3 times, they could never send me one that worked right, each one they sent back had a new problem develop a few weeks later (fan breaking, artifacts, fan breaking again)
[*]XFX (runs a lil hot, board feels kinda cheap, but has never given me any trouble)
