Is it for sale yet? I was waiting for this card to be released to replace a defective X800GTO for my brother, though I was hoping for an AGP version of the GT :(
Hope the GT version follows soon ;)

You should get a 7800 AGP instead - but that would be more expensive.

Is agp really a port? Or is it a slot?

I'd like to see the pricing on this part, when it becomes available. I was thinking of buying a 6800 GS for my brother (his GeForce4 MX is getting a little bit slow ;) ), but perhaps the 7600 will offer better value.

Not sure which would be better - you should also consider the ATI X800 range, they aren't bad and prices have gone down. The only problem is they don't use shader model 3.

Sapphire X800 Pro: R 2,273 @ www.digitalplanet.co.za/shop/product.asp?StockID=86434
Legend 6800 GS: R 1,478 @ www.digitalplanet.co.za/shop/product.asp?StockID=91069

Both cards have 12 pixel pipelines and 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 RAM. The difference is that the 6800 GS supports SM3 and is around 800 bucks cheaper... guess which of the two I'd rather buy?

I'm not saying that the X800s are bad cards, it's just that where I live, Radeons are both rare and expensive.
