It's nice to know what owners have owned because it offers some insight when they started PC gaming. It's been quite the trip seeing the hardware evolve from its infancy!

ATI Radeon X800XL 256MB
ATI Radeon HD3850 256MB
ATI Radeon HD6970 2GB (bought it 2 days ago, and haven't received it yet)

I seem to upgrade less often than most of you. My first card I bought was in 1996 or so, and I have only bought 4 cards since (the Geforce 4 was actually a gift, since someone accidentally bought two and I put the computer together for him - he just gave me the extra card instead of return it - but it was maybe $40 at the time).
