Well then they should not be making AGP cards if they don’t want to support them, and my old PC can still handle any game out on market today. However, ATI has made a new AGP VC and then do not make drivers for it to work with games I have played before. So anyone with some sense can put 2 and 2 together and see what is happening. Anyway there are more AGP slots and XP machines out there then Vista and PCIE machines about 50 to 1 or more. Not everyone buys the latest garbage to just brag I have the latest garbage. There is not a game out that an AGP card cannot handle if it has a driver that will allow it to be played. I blame ATI for not being the company it use to be. Maybe it is because of the merge of ATI/AMD that has made them so bad of late. As for facts you ask well no support for AGP, and it will continue until they get more complaints and sales fall then they will maybe wake up. The transfer over to Vista and PCIE for most people is going to be at least another 5 years so why push us to that when it is still a buggy OS.
