Nice to see, It looks like I'm going to build a Socket 754 setup for my friend then as there will be one more upgrade for the Video card comming soon.

Well, this should mean that nVidia will also release 7800 AGP cards. At least I hope so.

That'd rock so hard if there's actually a X1800XT. 2 of 3 gaming rigs in my house are still AGP, and I'd love to get my father a new AGP card for christmas or something- bought him a X800Pro about 5 months ago, though.

As for the AGP > PCI-E move... although it may not be absolutely be necessary, what is in life? Fact is, technology- especially technology- is always pushing forward. There's no time to stop and cater those left behind, that'd be going backwards, right? I mean, I'd love it if AGP continues (most PCs that I frequent are still AGP) but it's just not progressive.

Those of you pushing against progress will find that you're going nowhere, fast. Join the anticonformity movement! Eff PCI-Express...

...but I like my dual 7800GTs. :D

We're not pushing against progess, just unneccessary upgrades :)

Unneccessary upgrades = waste of $

When games put too much of a load on a CPU and it causes a REAL bottleneck, then it's time for a CPU upgrade (prolly with mobo too). IMHO, we're not there yet.

EDIT: Crap, forgot to say "nice find Apoppin" which is what I came here to do in the first place :)
