Your not trolling or trying to fill up forum with spam threads?
cuz this thread right after this one:
Can someone explain the meaning of 32-bit and 64-bit as they relate to video cards?

It looks weird, esp when you claim to have be "reasonably well-versed on computer-related specs" ect.

I think you dont like the amd threads at top, and are just spamming the forums.
The only thing that should concern you, is the performance of the cards.
If the card is AGP, and its limiting the "card" what does it matter?
the motherboard you have for it, probably is with a AGP port as well and/or you dont own a simular motherboard with PCI + card thats PCI as well.
So your forced to use it, reguardless of.
While I'm tempted to let the Admin's comment suffice, I'm going to add a few things.
First, I don't know what your problem is, other than possibly the fact that you see yourself as some sort of sophisticate and are annoyed by questions you already know the answer to. If that's the case, stay out of the thread. I asked a legitimate question. I've been a contributing member of Anandtech.com since March of 2004 -- that's 6 1/2 years longer than you, so you're really not in a position to question my credibility here. And I've never been a troll. Computers are a significant interest for me, but not an obsession. Between family and career obligations, I don't have time to keep up with every detailed aspect of this vast, constantly evolving technology. That's why I find this Website and its forum members so valuable -- with the exception of you and a scant few others over the years, it's been a great source of information, advice and support.
You said, "It looks weird, esp when you claim to have be 'reasonably well-versed on computer-related specs' etc."
Uh huh. You apparently have a reading comprehension problem, because you failed to mention the rest of that sentence where I said, " ... except for this aspect of video cards" (or words to that effect). So you either don't comprehend what people type or you're being dishonest by misrepresenting what I said, and neither reflect well on you.
You also said, "Your not trolling or trying to fill up forum with spam threads?"
You apparently don't know the definition of the word "spam." Free clue: Merriam Webster Online (dictionary) is your friend. I've never posted anything remotely close to being spam. As Austin Powers once said, "That's not my bag."
You also said, "The only thing that should concern you, is the performance of the cards."
Who are you to decide that? The reasons behind my questions are not subject to your approval. Actually, "the performance of the cards" is low on my list of priorities vis-a-vis the threads I posted here in the last couple days. I was more interested in understanding the technology, that I wasn't sure about, than comparing one card to another. You would do well to stick to answering posters' questions, with altruistic motivation, instead of passing unqualified judgment on the wisdom of the question. I've been around on this site long enough to gauge the validity of a question I might have. This site is for computer enthusiasts of all levels, not just experts.
Having said all this, I actually did appreciate some of your feedback in the other thread and almost sent you a PM to thank you. Between your (other) helpful info and that of all the others I got (some of which is fantastic), I now have a better understanding of this subject. Why you chose to take offense to my questions, however, is beyond me. Maybe you're just having a bad day? Whatever the reason, if you're annoyed by those less knowledgeable than you in a particular area (in your mind, anyway), don't participate in their threads.
Peace.
