    I sold my GeforceFX 5900SE on ebay for $60 bucks and used that money towards a Geforce 6800 non-ultra. I then sold it for $100 bucks on ebay and used that money towards my current 7600GT.

    My 6800 GT sits in its retail box, where it's been since the day I replaced it with a 7800 GT. So lonely...

    I had a 6800GT. I loved it cuz I had updraded from a 5900FX Ultra. Now that I have 2 7800GTX's, my 6800gt's been resigned to my mp3/movie/app/backup server.

    exactly my 7800gt was great but switched to the radeon for the 512mb and it just bottlenecked the crap out of my cpu and could never get decent drivers for it always problems used to love ATI but now hate and 3 months with an x1800 never overclocked and memory module died WTF well built by msi and i have really good cooling so it wasn't an overheat problem

    Yeah...my older ATI's always had trouble with new driver installs.
    This 68GT no trouble no matter what I do :).
    But Im in upgrade mode now so I may get the Legend 7900GT 512mb card.

    ATI RageIIc - gone, it was my first 3d card.

    Creative GeForce 2 Pro - sold it.

    Gainward GeForce 2 Ti - Was OC'd to 300mhz core and 500mhz memory, I had to lower those clocks a bit though. Currently in my dads office server because its integraded ATI card fried, got Asus GeForce 6600nu AGP for replacement.

    Gainward GeForce 4 Ti 4200 AGP8x "GS" - I still have it.

    Gainward GeForce 6800 GT "GS" AGP - was overheating (up to 120c),so I got replace.

    Gainward GeForce 6800 GT "GS" AGP - was broken, so I got replace.

    Gainward GeForce 6800 GT "GS" AGP - again, was broken, so I got replace.

    PNY 6800 Ultra PCI-E - finally a working card, currently in my second gaming system.

    Now I have Connect3D Radeon X1800 XT 256mb.

    lol, the 5900u was a nvidia pre-release - I just so happened to know somebody in the industry ;), sold it to CEX for more than it was worth which allowed me to get the 6800gt, then sold it for like £200 on ebay (bought it for £165 new!), got the x800 as an in-between card (only £120, sold for £105), then got my 7800gtx for £160. Just looking out for bargains; none of this fancy factory overclocked crap lol, though was planning on 7800gtx sli/7950GX2 before my horrible little cooling incident - thus I am, once again, poor. such is life.
