Here comes the fastest AGP video card

Sapphire X1950 Pro 512Mb AGP

The industries shift to the PCI-Express platform left many enthusiasts lacking the ability to update their graphics card. Because of that they were forced to either change their motherboard (often requiring they replace the CPU as well) or to keep their current hardware and hope that some day a quality AGP card would come out. Those who have been unable to afford the upgrade to PCIe have had very slim pickings this year, however Sapphire have announced the AGP version of one of the best cards of 2006 – the X1950Pro.

Who knows? There are lot of people who have connections with countries like USA, just like you. This is a dream come true for those people who have a Athlon64 and an AGP motherboard.

The image Chaminga has posted doesn't come up on my browser window. Wonder why. :( But I couldn't view it somehow.

I don't know why it does show up. I traced the image and I viewed it. (quote his post and you'll get the link). But as Firefox cached it, now it shows up correctly.
