"ATI is comming out with thier next generation on cards the x900's they sau they can beat the nvida SLI set. My question is will they support AGP? I hope so because I really dont want to have to get PCI-E. Any infromation on this will help...thanks"
why would you not want to upgrade to something twice as fast? you can't really have an "ultimate" gaming system w/out pci-e. not to rag on you or anything but you should really invest in pci-e. also, just tell your dad a new motherboard is cheap( they are actually a lot less expensive than some of the other things in your computer:RAM, video card, cpu, all more expensive than a mobo) heck, a copy of windows xp costs more than what i paid for my asus board.
