lol at least the fx5500 went out with a bang. I've still got an old 5500ultra or w/e but it currently has no cooler. why they bothered making a 5500ultra is beyond me... but w/e... I got it from a friend of mine after i built his rig for him. now its just... there lol. it was an old agp 4x/8x model. also... srry your first pci-e card was soo limited by the ddr2... I got one off of someone here that had ddr3 at least. not a bad card and as far as i know it still works (pretty much an 8600gt)

haha yea i remember those turbo buttons too... which were ironically named since pressing turbo actually just enabled full speed, where as having turbo off ran the cpu at about 1/2 or 1/3 speed, depending on how it was set up.

I don't remember, either the 6950 or 6970, and then Xfire

NOw I think I want a downgrade again, perhaps try NVidia this time, I just want something quiet like the GTX 970 STRIX or something

And now, I am trying to decide where to go now. Thinking 970, possibly waiting until the Rx 300 series to see what's what, or just keeping these guys for another year. They game just fine, but I can't use SLi and Shadowplay at the same time. lol

Had a pretty high turnover of cards at the beginning of the 3D era. The ones I kept for any length of time would be:
ATI 3D Rage
Nvidia RIVA TNT's (Diamond Viper and Canopus Spectra)
3dfx Voodoo2 (Diamond Monster II)
Nvidia GeForce 256 DDR (Creative 3D Blaster Annihilator Pro)
GeForce4 Ti 4600 (possibly Albatron)
then things slowed down a bit once I'd rationed myself to two systems...
FX 5900 Ultra 256M (EVGA)
9800 PRO
6600GT SLI (Albatron)
X800XT
