"the only thing that would lead me to drop a new graphics card in it would be an AGP based HDCP compliant card"

Same here.

Now, if Leadtek made the WinFast PX7600 GT (HDCP Edition) in AGP, that would be interesting!

Proof positive that despite chronic upgrade-itis in the geek community, AGP is far from dead and buried.

I thought I just read in the news somewhere that nVidia was in trouble with AGP boards because IBM was going to stop producing its PCI-e to AGP bridge chip?

Finally, someone gets it. Instead of selling crippled (7800GS) or overpriced (X1600 Pro 512MB, 7800GS) cards, they're actually going to use the same card with a bridge chip. As long as the price is only $5-$10 more, nvidia is going to be asking itself why it didn't do this sooner.

I doubt they'll sell them for a reasonable price. I bet you'd still be better off buying a mobo and PCIe video card (if you have that option).

I know AGP is dead, but I'm happy. I want a fast passively cooled graphics card to be the final upgrade for my A64 3000 system...

Considering that a little factory out there is still churning out vanilla PCI video cards (such as the 6200), this isn't too surprising.

i865 FTW!

Not really, but I do have one paired with a 2.8GHz northy in my MCE box. It already has a 6600GT, though, which is more than enough grunt for motion adaptive deinterlacing at 1080p, so the only thing that would lead me to drop a new graphics card in it would be an AGP based HDCP compliant card.

Interesting to see that i865 is fully conroe compatible.
