What is up with AGP video cards? Back when I bought my computer, which is now hella old, I kept hearing that AGP was the next big thing for video cards. Now AGP is like Betamax, fallen to the wayside as PCI-Express takes over. CH gave me an old nVidia 6600GT graphics card and he assured me that it had a PCI interface, but when I opened it up I realized that it was in fact AGP.
I went to Best Buy to check out some standard computers and found out that none of them have AGP slots. They all had PCI-Express. So this free video card is basically worthless. It’s about time for a new computer anyway. I’m eyeing a Dell XPS.

Yo! I actually broke out of my lapt0p-buying mold and bought a new Dell Dimension E521 when I finished remodeling my home office. It was hella cheap and I’m really happy with it! I upgraded to the ATI video card and it runs WoW just great – not that I have much time for playing WoW lately, but whatever.
