My X800 is the reason I discovered OcUK, I remember there used to be a sticky on the X800 Pro 16 Pipes Mod or something similar. A Google revealed a forum called "Overclockers UK" and it all took off from there :D. Was a lurker for ages though and didn't sign up for a long time.

I think I got here by accident when someone told me the name of another site of a similar name a few years ago and i remembered it wrong. :p

Best cards are...

3DFx Voodoo 3 3000, Geforce 4 Ti4600 & My 7900GTO for the Overclock.
 
My first card was an 8mb S3 Savage that I got to play I can't remember what on my old P166.
After that I got an Ati 7500 to go with a second hand P3 666 oced to 800mhz, that was to play IL2 Sturmovik on.
Eventually I upgraded to a Dell P4 3Ghz with an ATi 9800Pro. Had that for about 3 years and was well happy with it.
Then last year I got an nVidia 7600GT(AGP) along with upgrading to my E6300.
Then I swapped out that AGP card for a 7900GS through some MM wranglings at a total cost of about £20 to me.
That died through some mishaps of my own creations (knocked resistor off) and so I got a HD2900Pro that I'm still well pleased with. Let's see if I'll still be so pleased with it when I get my 22" samsung monitor (today hopefully).

So:

8mb S3 Savage,
ATi 7500,
ATi 9800Pro,
nVidia 7600GT,
nVidia 7900GS,
ATi 2900XT.

If you count S3 as being nVidia which I think they were eventualy amalgamated into then I have a nicely balanced 3 for 3 so far. Just wondering what the next will be.
 
nVidia GeForce 256 32mb SDRam -> ATi Radeon 9800XT 256mb -> ATi Radeon X800 256mb -> nVidia GeForce 7300GT 256mb -> nVidia GeForce 7900GS 256mb.
 
SIS 6326(or whatever)
Voodoo 2(Vulcan)
Creative Anihillator Geforce 256(SDR version)
Leadtek Geforce 3(non Ti)
Leadtek Geforce 4400Ti
Leadtek Geforce 5900(flashed to 5950 Ultra)
BFG 6800GT OC
Asus 7900GT SLI(vmodded and flashed to 700/800)
Asus 8800 Ultra
eVGA 8800 Ultra for SLI
 
I might mess up the order on these due to bad memory: -

Onboard S3 Trio
Riva TNT2 32MB
Geforce 2 GTS 32MB
Hercules 3D Prophet 4000 XT 64MB
Geforce4 Ti 4200 64MB
Geforce4 MX440 64MB
Radeon 9600 XT 128MB
Geforce 6600 GT 128MB
Geforce 6800 GT 256MB
Radeon X800 GTO² 256MB
Radeon X1800 XT 256MB
Radeon X1900 XT 512MB
Geforce 8800 GTS 640MB
Geforce 8800 GT 512MB
