| AGP ya really.. interesting that they will continue to output cards for it. Last I saw in the stores, AGP boards were not that available. Guess there is still enough demand. |

That's only half true. Not everyone buys a Dell, there are lots of manufacturers and the others will sell with XP still. I am still waiting for my free copy to arrive and then I'm only going to go with 32bit unless something in gaming changes, which I am really doubting will. At least not for a couple of years. Then MS will be ready to output their new OS again with DirectX10a or wait, I mean DirectX11. This would be the trend considering DirectX 10 is nothing but DirectX9d with a new name.
