PCI-Express has been out nearly 3 years. Even at my local computer retailer the number of AGP cards available is dwarphed by the PCI-Express cards. They sell more PCI-Express and AGP as well. Further, your typical AGP setup will run Vista way too slowly. The high-end and top-end AGP markets are huge. Millions of people haven't bought into the PCI-E hype, or have no reason to, at least not yet. The AGP doomsayers have been around for nearly three years and by now they've lost all credibility. |

Further, your typical AGP setup will run Vista way too slowly. With Vista (Aero) being released soon, I would guess that quite a few people (millions) want to upgrade their computer. All they need to get their system up to speed is a graphics card. The CPU, memory, PS and mobo work fine. Also they don't want to have to reinstall all their software. I would say that the sale of AGP cards will increase over the next few months. TMC |

There exists an Arctic Cooling-equipped, highly overclockable 512 MB 7900GT AGP in the form of Gainward's 7800GS+, available for a price at Overclockers.co.uk. Stop waiting. :-) I would be very surprised if this isn't the card nVidia releases to challenge the 1950PRO, but I could be wrong. Remember, any board partner can integrate the HSI bridge and produce an AGP card like Gainward has done. That's what I mean really when I say ATI or nVidia. I think we will see a BFG 7950GS OC AGP soon. Within the next 1-2 months; maybe sooner. Nope, never. Obsolete within the next 3 months. 8300 or 8600 AGP maybe. Vista/XP/Dx10/Dx9 compatible, etc...
