As I read the 13 years of nvidia, I remember my reaction when each of those cards were coming out, how my jaw dropped at the 6800 ultra playing halo at 60fps. I think it would be neat idea to see where we all started and where we have ended up.

First: Celeron 533 w/ tnt2 (worked for ut99)
Second:Athlonxp3000 w/5200 upped to 6800 non-gt (worked for ut2k4)
Now: q6600 w/8800gt (works for U3 and COD4)

Still have all three, last two still in use.
Getting each system~5 years apart made the upgrade seem like such a leap, can't wait for the next one!...and Diablo 3.
