Until last month , while I had a lot of cards, I only had one PCI-E Card. I liked my XFX . I do have several ASRocks6800 GS fine, but it was over $200 when I bought it and I wasn't happy paying that much. But now I have a new ATI X1950 XTX, a used ASUS X1800 XT, and I have a new HIS X1650 XT on the way. The 1950 XTX and 1800 XT are both 512 Meg cards. It is near impossible to get a good 939 AGP Motherboard anymore, and so I am finally moving toward PCI-E (Though I think AGP can handle all my needs) I have several ASRocks with both AGP and PCI-E slots, and a Abit Ul8.

It's a shame that AGP is disapearing.. I do like my new cards though.

well for a while Iw as the same way, but I usually donate said rigs to the less fortunate, I've had plenty of hardware but really stick to the latest for the most part. idunno but it seems like you'r ehanging on to the past too tightly, a backup rig or two is fine, but all those?:wtf:

Folding and family... I only use two, Plus the bottom two are normally spares for diagnostics.... which made me realize I have no low end PCI-E for diagnostics
