-PNY Geforce 4 Ti4400 128MB (thrown Mx400 away, even played Oblivion using this) <-- died the other day after 6+ years of service, i was really sad.
-cheap chinese brand Radeon x800GTO 128MB (wow at the speed) <-- used this to replace 2ndary computer's died Ti4400.
-Sapphire Radeon x1650PRO 256MB (a parallel step, for SM3 and last of my AGP years) <-- still using it in AGP computer
-Geforce 8800GTS 320MB (bought a cheap 8800GTS, but was major disappointed with World in Conflict's Dx10 performance) <-- inside my friend's computer
-now 8800GTX 768MB (bought it second handed from a friend for £190 3 month ago :D sold my GTS 320MB to another friend for £150) <-- lol, obviously inside my computer. loving it.

so now loving my GTX, don't feel being conned by nVidia at all, superclocked GT's still sell more expensive than my second hand GTX.
 
6600GT - Had this one a week
X800GTO - Had this for about 9 months
X1950XT - Had this for over 1 year now

Quite short I have not upgraded in a long time plus I don't play many of the new games ony CSS and BF2 on occasion and the X1950XT runs them fine on high settings I have yet to try BF2 with my new monitor which is 1650x1050. I might upgrade my whole system though for BF3 and some of the other new games coming out thinking of getting the 9800GTX :).
