    I think my first video card was an ISA(?) 256k. Don't remember the brand.

    My memory isn't too good because I don't remember all the video cards I've had. Some are...

    Some PCI cards (1mb & 2mb)
    Matrox 4mb AGP
    edit: ATI All-in-wonder pro
    TNT2 16MB AGP
    ATI 8500
    ATI 9200SE
    ATI 9600 (I think)
    Some kind of TI4200

    Nothing too high end. I live on the trailing edge of technology. :D

    I remember upgrading to a Grabert Apogee virtual 2048x2048. Before that I had some diamond card and prior to that I can't remember ...it'll come back to me sooner or later. I probably started late '80s or early '90s.
