    nVidia Quadro NVS285 in the desktop and Quadro FX2500M in the laptop. Also a GeForce Go 7900 in a second laptop. All working spot on with Win7 Aero.

    I would dearly love to upgrade the 256Mb 7900 in the second laptop to a 512Mb FX2500M or FX3500M, but laptop graphics cards are prohibitively expensive. I've seen used FX2500M cards selling on eBay for £399!!

    I really can't see the justification for the ridiculous prices charged for laptop cards! :rant over:

    I am using a factory overclocked 896 MB XFX GTX260 currently. It's the newer version with the 216 stream processors. I bought it late last year.
    Prior to that I have owned 8800GT 512 MB, 7800GT 256 MB, FX5700 128 MB, GeForce-2 32 MB, GeForce 32 MB (the very first GeForce series :D), and a Riva TNT.

    I just upgraded from an 512 MB ATI 2600 HD Pro to an NVidia GeForce GTS 250 with 1GB of ram. Threw the old card over my shoulder and not looking back. A world of difference from the old to the new.

    2x XFX Radeon HD 4870's in crossfire. Man they get hot, but my thermaltake V9 case seems to take the heat away quite well. Built my system about a month ago. Was running with a 7800GTX 256MB a bit outdated
