about the 8x agp, before the new cards which supports these come out, motherboard makers will have made and perfected these boards....id expect sometime late summer for these boards to come out....
LordNicon....if i were you, i would get one now, gf3's are not going to get much cheaper by the time the next card comes out...so get a ti500 now or something like that, because a gf4 is useless for all the games out now....you just dont need 128 mb of ram on a video card yet (unless you are making movies and such, which you would get an oxygen card for)...so get a nice golden sample, or asus deluxe or something like that...thatd do you fine for a long time
