No AGP cards? Don't stand for it!

939 is phased out this year as well 2 make way 4 m2 probably another upgrade needed

On a side note.. How unfeasible would it be to create a AGP to PCI-E bridge/converter? I don't mean self-made, but is it technically possible for companies with the resources?

Good point. That's the sort of question that need to be raised. It's frustrating that ati actually already developed a pci to agp bridge chip, but refuse to use one. You could understand not doing it from nvidia's point of view though, since their's only went from agp to pci as their cards were initially native to agp. Hopefully if ati and nvidia refuse to do it maybe a board partner might?

Hasn't MSI brought out an X800 series card that is PCIe on one side and AGP on the other side of the card? So you can just flip it over if/when you upgrade.

I've got a mate who is upgrading from Socket A to 939 but is staying wih an AGP mobo. Have tried to explain that he should really go PCI, but if the above about MSI is true then that may well solve his problem (if he can persuade the missus to let him purchase a new GPU that is!!)

Well, I really hope Nv and Ati are looking at this.. I mean, since there's really no bandwidth loss and the tech today has yet used up the potential of AGP8x... TBH, I'd be quite suprised to see a high end card actually consistently uses up thw whole bulk width of a measly AGP4x..

I get what you guys are going with the AGP - PCI-E bridge.. they should cost as cheap as dirt to produce and should be good enuf to satisfy most of us with highh end AGP card. Its not liek we don't want PCI-E.. Its just not the time for such a huge upgrade.. esp sicne we've drained our wallet for a high end AGP card say 8 months ago..
