When I goto circuit city around here, its the AGP cards that are only stocked in onesies. Almost everything is pci, and I'm talking about the $300 gamer cards none of use can even waste time drooling over.
Be very carefull when looking at video cards, there is a new kid on the block to replace AGP - It is called PCI Express (PCIe for short). With a projected bandwidth of 8GB/s, it is much, much faster than AGP and makes the old PCI bus look like a snail in comparison. Of course, it goes without saying that PCIe is totally incompatable with PCI slots just as AGP is with ISA. Regards, Paul.
