Spinnerbait writes "Although new system sales with AGP slots are almost non-existent these days in the consumer desktop space, there is a still a fair aftermarket demand for upgrades in the retail area where AGP enabled motherboards abound. Although PCI Express is the mainstay interface for most new cards from graphics giants like NVIDIA and ATI, NVIDIA unwrapped a fairly high end card dubbed the GeForce 7800 GS, in an AGP variant. 16 pixel shaders engines and DX9 SM3.0 graphics compliant hardware in the latest GPU architecture from NVIDIA now available in AGP."

You're assuming only three and four year old machines have AGP slots?

For a great number of reasons my most recent PC ended up with an AGP slot, it's less than 12 months old. This kind of card may just be a worth addition.

Hell, out of a dozen or so associates I can only name one that has a PCIE graphics setup.
