What was your very first video card?

I include all video cards including pre-geforce such as voodoo 3dfx cards. Unfortunately I didn't get started until geforce was already around, because I'm young. Geforce2 MX 400 for me, I was 10 when it came out.

if you're speaking 2d and 3d...

I started on an ISA video card... not sure the brand, I want to say it was S3, but it was the biggest card you've ever seen.

As far as 3d, I think it was the 3dfx Voodoo2, what a GREAT card... I really wish 3dfx didn't get bought out by nvidia... they would be HUGE today... they were faster than ANY other card by nearly DOUBLE... The architecture of the 3dfx graphics engine was amazingly fast. When I got my Voodoo3, it was simply amazing for it's era.

Trident Blade AGP 8mb

Back there it was one of the few cards which supported DirectX6 and on, used to brag about how well Half-Life ran to my friends with integrated SiS.
