Cyrix (i think) 512k

Something 2MB or 4MB
Some 16Mb card, a 3dfx i think.
Matrox card somewhere in there (Back when they were good)
GeForce256
Geforce MX2
5200
5700LE o/c'd to double the speed
6800LE o/c'd + unlocked

X850XT PCI-e
3870 512MB standard (wrong one sent)

i know its an old benchmark, but wanted to (try) to bench any changes i made to my system. There are some missing but cant remember what they are :o

All my PC upgrades have been a direct result of joining these very forums since 1998/9 i think ;)
