ISA 128k thing .. still have it, back before graphics cards did anything majorly interesting.
PCI S3 Trio 1mb - I upgraded the ram to 2MB!
PCI 4mb Righteous Orchid 3DFx - Overlcoking it consisted of editing the .ini file, added a heatsink as it cooked when pushed. That was the point I realised what a game should look like (Quake+GLIDE was pr0n back in the day).
PCI S3 Virge 375DX with 4MB
AGP Riva 128 with 8MB
PCI 3DFX Voodoo 2 - 12MB x 2 - Yep running SLI in the 90's was cheap and good! N64 emulation was also pretty cool.
PCI? ATI Rage 128XL with memory expansion board to bring it to 8MB?
AGP Creative TNT2 Ultra 32MB - Grabbed on a trip to the US, I remember MadRad answering the phone about 5 sec's after he cooked the first GeForce OCUK got in by clocking it with a tnt clocking util... they sensor such language on the forums now ;)
AGP Asus 3800 Ultra TNT2 32MB VIVO - I liked the Guard Dog camera app.
AGP Hercules GeForce 2 MX440 64MB
AGP Asus GeForce 2 GTS 64MB - shoved an orb on it
AGP MSI GeForce 3 Ti 200 128MB - Watercooled :)
AGP ATI 9800 Pro 128MB pushed beyond XT speeds and silenced with arctic cooler
PCIe X800GTO silenced with an aero cooler
PCIe 7900GS
PCIe ATI x1900 Pro
PCIe ATI x2900 Pro
PCIe 4870 Watercooled
Several 5850/5870 variants (mining)
Several 6850/6870 variants (mining)
Seleveal 7950's (yea, still mining)
7990 (... Yep)
Lots of 270's (uhu...)
A fair few 280's (still mining)
Various Intel HD x000 based hardware.


I've had a load of other cards in secondary box's but that's the main rig from a 286 in the late 80's till today.

voodoo 3 16mb -> 6600gt -> 7900gt -> 4870[new build]

not as extensive as some!
 
Onboard Crap > Voodoo 2 > GeForce 2 MX > Radeon 9600 Pro > GeForce 6600GT > GeForce 7600GT > GeForce 8600GT > GeForce 8800GTS 640MB > GeForce 8800GT 512MB > Radeon HD4850 512MB

The bit in red is where i considered i went a bit silly :).
