Random thread, has probably been done before but let's have a 2011 version. :D

6) ATI HD 4850 1GB

I've had many many many, but starting from 3D chips, then:

Voodoo 2 (2x 12MB SLi)
Voodoo 3 2000 PCI
Rage Pro LT 32MB
Riva TNT2 Ultra
Geforce 256 DDR
Radeon 64MB DDR
PowerVR Kyro II
Geforce 2 PRO
Geforce 2 Ultra - This card held the 3dmark 2000 world record for 640x480 testing back in the day, back when I ran phase change and did stupid amounts of voltmodding (and hardware killing)
Radeon 8500 - Bought from OcUK when they were £170+, for £10! Back when they had a bargain bin in the physical shop in Fenton.
Geforce 3 Ti200
Geforce 4 Ti4400
Radeon 9500 (Flashed to 9700)
Radeon 9700 PRO
Radeon 9800 (Flashed to XT)
Geforce 6800
Geforce 7800GT SLI
Geforce 8600GTS
Radeon X1950PRO
Radeon 2900XT
Geforce 9800GT
Radeon 3870 Crossfire
Radeon 5770 Crossfire
Radeon 6950 (flashed to 6970)

In there I've also owned many low end cards and mid range cards for 2nd PCs, HTPCs and the like. As well as the myriad of matrox and s3 cards I had for 2D before the voodoos.

I always wanted a Voodoo 5 6000, and always meant to get hold of a 3Dlabs wildcat, but never got around to it.
