Your graphics card history tree?

So, it was January 2008 I last posted in this thread:

Matrox Mystique 220 + Matrox M3D addon card
Matrox Mystique 220 + Creative Voodoo II 12MB
Matrox Mystique 220 + 2x Creative Voodoo II 12MB in SLI

Not a very long or distinguished history for me, I do remember haveing a voodoo something back in 1998 but I was 11 so I've no idea what it was but I do remember it making Flight Sim 98 run like butter.

I then moved to consoles until a two years ago, since then I have had the following

1998 Voodoo ?????
...
... Console years
...
2011
Radeon HD6450 2GB
GeForce 650Ti 1GB
Radeon HD7950 3GB (DOA) exchanged for
GeForce 760 2GB

Future hopefully holds a 2nd 760
 
And the prices I paid!

Geforce 2 MX 400, I remember thinking that this was an awesome card simply as it was a Geforce. Still got it somewhere, got that PC early 2002 as christmas/birthday present, was still used until recently as my dad's office PC.

Sapphire Radeon 9600xt - 2005 I bought a new pc with christmas and birthday money, nice little card, the one with the heat pipes - silent! Still in use today I think in a friend's desktop PC.

XFX Geforce 6800GT - A really good looking card, eventually began overheating and crashing for some reason, couldn't fix the problem at that age.

replaced it with a-

Sapphire Radeon x1950 pro - Best AGP card I could find at the time, horrendously bottlenecked by a AMD 64 3400! This too must still be kicking around somewhere.

Then in my new build at the start of 2008 I got a bfg Geforce 8800GT before adding another later for SLI. Both now under my bed in a draw!

Now I'm on a HIS Radeon 6970 I got at the end of 2010 and put in my new build in October 2011, looking to move to a 290x or 780ti as it's not cutting the mustard at 1440p.
