If this deal if offered over here I can take advantage of it replace my currently unused 7800 GS and get myself a better card then my 2600 XT
That would just devalue the card
Pity my 6600GT isn't on there
Im confused as how this helps people, if you have an AGP card then what use is a PCI-e card? i guess its their way of hinting to buy their motherboards?. Its a good idea for replacing an old card with a good one for free.

For me I just see this a nice gesture for its customers which BFG in my opinion don't potentially gain any profit from.
Perhaps they have excess stock of the 9600 GT OC and 9800 GT OC that they want to clear..?
Ach, 5700OC here
No chance!
And yeah it's probably so that people who're looking to upgrade to a cheap Core2 or i7 (cheap? haha) system don't have to splurge on a graphics card just yet. You'd be surprised, back when i was less "knowledgable" i put off buying a PCIe motherboard because i had AGP and i figured it would be enough.

is there a 5200FX in PCI-E?
i've got 1 of them in an old system and i'd love to plug it into here and see how it fares..
Nope, the news article shows what you can upgrade from and the lowest card is the 6800's!is there a 5200FX in PCI-E?

Typical, always the Americans getting the freebies.
BFG 6600 GTOC here too (although that's PCIe anyway).
