Though i would still like to see a dual AGP system one day.



Do you mean to say that there are almost no dual monitor AGP graphics
cards?



There are many, many, dual monitor AGP cards out there -
it has almost become the standard for AGP cards.

Hence I took her (his?) remark as intending to convey a
desire for a machine with more than one AGP slot, to
which the answer is, "Forget it - it ain't going to happen."
Especially now with PCI-Express just around the corner.


Yeah i clarified that in another post. The original intent was because
PCI-66mhz is still pretty slow, especially when handling large data.
PCI-X is really good but your right its not adopted yet. But what would
prevent a dual AGP slot motherboard? It could be usefull when trying to
render high-performance simulations that are sectioned. Though i don't
know if the bus supports it.

From what i know, PCI-X still won't have the same kind of access that
the AGP card has, like having to go through a PCI bridge, direct access
to memory with textures etc...

sorry forgot a "not" somewhere. like NOT having to go through a pci bridge.
