I've noticed that the agp slot in general is going ByeBye.  Seems that Intel's 925 chipset boards have the new PCI Express x16 which is meant for the video.  I wonder if Andy has any plans for this?

Actually most of the NEW Dells are using PCI-X slots for their video now.
The 3000 was their budget model, and had onboard video only.

Agp slots won't disappear for quite a while still, but they will probably become harder to find.  Dell is a perfect example as I think they are switching everything but their lower end models (with onboard video) to PCI-Express.

You'll be able to find mobos with AGP slots for quite a while now, so I don't think Andy has to rush out and create a new AVGA just yet.

Chris:

Anything Athlon-based is probably going to be AGP for a while...

Why would I need onbaord LAN?

At this point I'm leaning towards selling the system I have and assembling components from scratch for my cab. 4 co-workers have expressed SOME interest in buying my Dell.
