Going back far enough, I remember moving up from EGA to an SVGA card, but even more important at the time was going from a 286 to a 386 as Adventure Games became more demanding. And boy did Leisure Suit Larry whiz across the screen on a 486, which I spent my money on instead of those new fangled CD-ROM drives! :D

So it was on a 5.25" floppy? I have a couple games on those in my closet!

Man, I can see this is bringing back some memorys

The Diamond Monster 3dfx card was the first add on video card that I had bought, but before that......oh geez, the first computer that I had ever delt with was a 8088. Didn't even have a harddrive. Had to load everything from a 5.25" floppy drive

Then I went up to a 286, if I remember right. Had to park the hard drive any time I went to move it :P

My first graphics card - card mind you, different from onboard - was probably the 8x AGP version of nVidia's RIVA TNT2 64. No GPU and only a 16MB frame buffer, but it was all I needed at the time. I've never been much of a gamer, except for the Tony Hawk games I've played all these years.

The POS died on me about two and a half years ago, and I replaced it with a PCI card. PNY nVidia GeForce something or other... MX 4000 maybe? 64MB frame buffer. It may sound like a POS to you, but at the time, it was the best card I'd ever had, and I didn't need anything better than that.
