Company = 3dfx
GPU = vsa100
SKU = voodoo 5 5500 pci pc

testament to this gpu is the fact it still runs to this day. Not only that it's a very decent card to have if you want to play old 16bit colour games in a modern machine. PCI specifications haven't changed

Company = ATI

GPU = r300

SKU = 9700pro agp.

Probably the second longest lived of all my working gpu's I was using it in a system with no need to upgrade for a very long time. I got it in the release year, and the card that replaced it was an ati x1950pro. That equates to about 5 years of working life.
