Gonna be smokin baby! :hyper:

I really need to find a better AGP graphics card. That's just been low priority since my funds are extremely limited.
-
AGP cards are a dying/dead breed, and are going to be very difficult to find. If you can, take a look at NewEgg and Tiger Direct, and see if they have any left, but I'd make it quick.

PCI slots seem to be dying off, also in favor of PCIe .
-
Even as old as my board is (runs a Socket 939) it has PCI 16 Express. These cards will probably be the last ones until I upgrade the MO BO.

Well, color me surprised. The last time I looked there were maybe half a dozen.

They'll be around for awhile, but very few , if any new mobos even have an AGP slot.
-
I also wonder why? The cards out there now, look at the ones I got, HAMMER AGP cards, and cost much less.

When I was looking at video cards, it seemed that AGP cards were slower than their PCI equivalents. When it comes to video cards, gamers are what drive the market, and to them speed is everything. Even standard eide/ide hard drives are harder to find in the box stores, SATA is the new standard.

a fast hard drive improves every aspect of day to day computing.

From my undestanding AGP had reached it's "apex".
I got the cards last night. You gotta love Nvidia. With unified drivers theres no uninstalling the old ones. I just pulled the old card, plugged in the new one fired up the comp, ran the cd and restarted.
WoW looks great, and no more "choking" in high density player areas. Smooth as silk. :yahoo:

Uh, it's a video card, maybe he thought you were going to put it in your tv. :-)
I have an ATI Radeon X1050 for running my dual displays. :)

no, I was wondering if he wanted to play computer games, or if he just was going to check email, word process, etc.
