Well, hold on there....

What really pisses ME off is how the PC world is going over to PCI express [the serial version of PCI] while AGP 8x has so much life left! The nVidia 6800 does not even come CLOSE to topping out the 8x bus, so why the change of standard?

The big problem for us mac users is, since we still use AGP 8x, the price of manufacuring the older standard is likely to go up, as once again, Macs aren't using the "standard". Remember when Macs used to use NuBus and the PC world was using PCI? Our NuBus expansion cards prices went WAY up, since it was not mainsteam.

Now, ATi is way to busy making there PCI express cards to bother with making an X800 card for its fellow Mac users. This is what we call a big market hole.
