AGP has taken the biggest flush down the toilet that I've ever seen with a
technology.

One minute, we're seeing rants and raves about AGP GeForce 6800 Ultra's and
then, suddenly, silence...  Nothing...

Try looking at this article, as it may have what you're looking for. They do
their comparo's to a bunch of older stuff, so you can get a pretty decent
feel as to how your aging agp card stacks up to the newest whiz bang
release. It looks like I could get a HUGE increase in performance just by
upgrading my 9800 Pro, and not have to upgrade the whole shebang until at
least next year.

Anyway, here's the linkage:

I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how
long it's been since I've forgotten anything.
