Same, here. I've own so many over the last 15 years, mostly budget cards with great bang for the buck.
My favorites:
* Voodoo3 1000 - This was a "special" version of the Voodoo3 with lass video memory, but performed about the same as a Voodoo3 2000, but was only $45!! amazing bang for buck.
*Radeon LE - This was a cheaper $65 version of the original $150 Radeon. All it needed was a BIOS update to turn into the regular Radeon. Another amazing bang for buck.
* My current X800GTO2, unlocked, overclocked. It's is a very nice card for the money, although things are changing so fast, there were better deals about 3 monthes after I got it. Still a great card, and ATI Tray Tools rocks.
* GeForce Ti4200 - Still have this card on my son's computer. It overclocked to Ti4400 speeds quite easily.
Worst Cards:
* Diamond Viper with Riva128ZX chipset. I decided to oay TOP DOLLAR for this card ($180 at the time) and it was not worth the money.
* Voodoo Rush - I got this card for free, and it still sucked. Possibly the worst video card ever.
