Yes, we can hope they upgrade to a proper motherboard.
Not likely for this gen.

LOL its funny, everytime a new card comes out now "any hope for AGP users?" and yet while everyone thought AGP would end at 6800/x800, we already have 1950XT agp... So never say never :p

There's going to be a point where they stop. The AGP market gets less and less profitable every day.

With NEXT GEN AGP MOB?
I have ASUS P4P800-SE, then it means my hope is unreal and better buy existing Dx9
card X1950PRO or 7500 ?

While at this point I don't think anyone can predict when the AGP madness will stop...those parts tend to come out well after the PCI-E counterparts are established.

Not to mention over priced and in most cases under performing.

absolutely

AMD was proud to announce they could also address dead-end users with r600

They said they had a bridge chip. It's still up to board partners.

The good news is that we know for sure a number of people/sites have cards...it's just a waiting game now.

Gonna be a long 11 days...
