Default Nvidia 7950 GX2 AGP

I want to buy the above mentioned card. I know it is well out of date but i
want one for an older computer that is still used.
Does anyone know where there are any available preferably here in the U.K.

Thanks.

seller says it's a PCI Express model


....every one ever made is a PCIe model. There's no such thing as an AGP 7950
GX2.

Thanks all, i guess i got it wrong then.
It currently has a 7900GS and was wanting something a bit faster if there
are any available that is.

Well, as I mentioned a few posts back, the Sapphire HD3850 AGP 512Mb card
is probably the fastest AGP card out there. 702Mhz core and 256bit DDR3 at
1692Mhz. There's an HD 4650 AGP card with 1024Mb memory but it's crippled
by a 128bit interface and is loaded up with slow DDR2 running at 800Mhz.
It's advertised as the "fastest" AGP card out there, but I can't see how
it'll ouperform a 7900GS or HD3850 AGP card with specs like that. Can't find
an actual test anywhere yet. Whether or not you'll see any major gains in
performance from a what's already a very decent 7900GS AGP card is the real
question. It's right up there with the X1950 Pro AGP. My opinion is that
they'll be marginal, especially if you have a 7900GS 512Mb Golden Sample
level card.
