AGP is just about dead. There will most likely not be a gefore 8 series agp video card. There have been talks of AGP 40x and there are AGP 16x cards, but they are still slower then PCIE.

Swimmer Posted May 27, 2007 CID Share Posted May 27, 2007 AGP is here to say until ATI/NVIDIA says differently.. PCI-E has found its niche, like expected, in the high end gaming world and is beginning to make its presence felt in the consumer level products. I think the biggest thing that we all missed was PCI-E's influence on the enterprise market. It is just about impossible to get any type of server with standard PCI slots. I am sure that PCI-E will grow even more with the introduction of Vista and the requirements needed to run that software platform. As far as it being used for different functionalities.. The largest one that I have seen is signaling. The Killer NIC card is PCI based because of some type of signaling issue when it was tried on a PCI-E platform. It is going to be really difficult to kill off PCI! SATA and PATA/IDE are still alive and kicking.. I have yet to see a SATA CD-ROM drive.. Even on the new blu-ray burner.. So PATA/IDE is going to be around for a while also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted May 27, 2007 CID Share Posted May 27, 2007 SATA cdroms are around. Most of the new dell minitowers are using them. Not that they are any faster though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason to use a SATA dvd rom is for cable management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
