I can't get excited about it. Sure it is going to revolutionize the graphics market...but at what cost? You know you're going to have to chop off your left arm just to get a mobo and card. Then will the performance leap leave AGP users in the dust? If so, what fun is that? Only people with money will get the fps bonus? Elitest pigs@! I just upgraded to a 9500 Pro this past year...I spent 200 bucks on it and haven't spent that much on any one item in my life...I just want to know how much they are going to charge....I don't want to sign my life savings away (which isn't much right now...so if it is 300 bucks..i'm screwed)
Another thing I want to know...if PCI Xpress is so great and everyone wants to buy it...won't AGP prices drop out the bottom of things? Will this be just what everyone wants? I mean, if it dropped out the bottom, I'd upgrade to the best damn AGP card money can buy and then I wouldn't upgrade for a very long time. I rememember MCA slots gaining alot of buzz and then just 'pewf!' they were gone. So what happens if no one will upgrade because of the cost? Will they too drop out? Just some thoughts I have. I am very aprehensive about migrating to PCI Express at all because I know that if I'm graphzilla I'm going to JACK the hell outta the prices to make some cizash for Mr. Big. Everyone should be worried about this IMHO. Am I wrong?
