I'd add mine but if I did I'd start to realize just how many thousands of dollars I've blown on quickly obsolete PC hardware.
My first seperate video card was the Matrox Mystique 2d/3d 2MB, because you could upgrade it to 4MB if you needed to later. You also didn't need to have 2 cards like with the Voodoo which only did 3d.

I reckon, for the amout of money we spend of graphics alone, we should just buy a console. Some people here probably have spent over 10K on graphics alone LOL
