Yeah, and AGP 4x/8x stuff is quite cheap these days.

For all the boxes I have, you'd think I'd play games on the best hardware I own, but no.  I'm
playing WoW with a AGP 8x "N6800" nVidia card.  I'd seen 8600 GS, and 6800 GT before... Hadn't
seen "N6800" until I got this card.  It has 512 MB RAM, which is huge for the price I paid.  (I
did spend a bit more for the sound and NIC for this box.  CPU is AMD "Barton" core, which now =
cheap!)

Wish there was a way to change the video chip in my laptop. :(  That's the one I was complaining
about at the meeting, with the ATI chip in it.  Radeon Express 200M doesn't DRI with any of the
available drivers--yet.  (No, especially not ATI's drivers.)

Thanks, I'd never seen that store before.  I'll have to check them out again when I have more time
to browse.

>> If you hit up NewEgg,

That's what I usually do.
