Hey, what about all the folks with only ISA slots - what are they =
supposed to do? ;^)

I suspect the issue is that folks with "mature" systems (the ones you =
listed) are not upgrading components as much as they are replacing =
systems. The AGP standard has been around a while now (two years???), =
and systems older than that are now, simply, "rescue" fodder. ;^)

Yeah, I know, but what are people with Alphas, pre AGP G4s (not to =
mention
G3) Macs, Briqs, Suns, IBMs, etc supposed to do for video?  Not to =
mention
people who want great performance on a dual or triple head system.
