What ever happened to the ATI "bridge" chip for PCI-e to AGP?
Just wondering what ever happened to the PCI-E to AGP bridge chip that was
supposed to make PCI-E video cards compatible with AGP??? It sounded like it was a winner, that would give AGP owners options beyond an X850XT. |

Where and when they use them is a different story. In any case Newegg lists x1600 and x1300 AGP boards from ATI. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

In any case, those two cards aren't any more powerful than my X800 XT Platinum. I want to see an X1800XT or X1900XT in AGP. Or even a GeForce 7900GT. |

If buyers are snapping up PCIe 7800 or X1900 boards as fast as the companies
can produce them, there's little incentive to bother with AGP boards. Unless, of course, the margins are significantly higher, then everyone bitches about paying $150 more for an identical AGP card. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

I would get a x1900XT tomorrow if they had an AGP version.
