Is AGP dead and gone? I'm an avid reader of Custom PC magazine, and everyone there seems to be raving about the new Asus AV8 SLI Deluxe motherboard, which to be fair seems to be heaving with features. However, I can't find any mention of an AGP slot anywhere on it, or on just about any other high-performance modern motherboard.
Is PCI/PCI-E the only way forward? I bought an AGP Nvidia 6800GT about four months ago and am very happy with it, but in June I intend to upgrade many of my PC components and cannot stomach the thought of ditching/flogging a perfectly good card if it can be avoided, especially as a replacement card would add so much to the cost of the upgrade.
Someone, please tell me that there's a similarly-powerful, butt-kicking mobo out there that supports the latest AMD 64-bit Slot 939 chips, features plenty of SATA connectors and supports AGP. I don't really care about SLI itself, I just like the sound of the feature-set on the Asus board. If anyone can make a recommendation for a board I'd be really grateful.
Or, if no one can, does anyone out there want a new, never-been-messed-about-with 6800GT? Perfect condition, any reasonable offer?
