Wake me up when there's an AGP version



I doubt if it will ever exist for the 7900. For the 7600, AGP versions
may well become available. The number of gaming 'enthusiasts" who
would shell out the money for a 7900 and are still on AGP are rapidly
dwindling. Anyway, you need one of the latest processors to keep a
7900GT fed, and all of those processors (AMD 939-pin, Intel 775LGA)
have now got inexpensive PCIe motherboards ( $100) available.
So if you have a latest-family processor on a AGP motherboard,
just dump the motherboard. Don't let the tail wag the dog.
