And be wary! I'm in the middle of getting Dabs to accept a card back which
was described as "PCI-Express or AGP 8X" when the card delivered is only
PCI-Express, i.e. there is no concept of a card being PCI-E *and* AGP
compatable at the same time - the connectors are completely different. The
description on their web site and on the packaging is just plain wrong but
that doesn't spot them messing customers around.
Just to confuse matters, this is different to PCI-64 cards which generally
can plug into plain PCI slots.
PCI-Express (PCI-E) is relatively new and appears (for some reason) to be
cheaper than AGP esp. for the 6600. Therefore, there's going to be a lot of
people as confused as us.
