Two posting on E-Bay for the agp card.
http://cgi.ebay.com/GeCube-ATI-X1950-Pro-256MB-AGP-Graphics-Card_W0QQitemZ190063...

and

http://cgi.ebay.com/GeCube-ATI-Radeon-X1950-PRO-AGP-Video-Card-FEAR-PC_W0QQitemZ...

Second one comes with F.E.A.R and a buy now option. Both cards are way to expensive at the moment, at a 350$ US price tag, there's the price of new AMD X2 4200+ and mobo with a PCI-E slot so it's kind of pointless.

Don't know why there's not more of them out there, though. There's a market for them, that's for sure.... (look how fast ATI sold the X850 Pro's), as long as the price is right. They could lower price, take a hit on a profit margin but because of the number sold, will stay make a decent profit. A little profit over time is better then no profit at all because it's over priced for a dieing breed and upgrade options are cheaper. Nothing sold= 0 profit where as 5$ a card with 45,000 sold = ALOT (ok, maybe not that many but who knows.)

hmm...
A system like this would be really awesome:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300-X6800/Core 2 Quad QE6? ??
ASrock 775dual-vsta
2GB DDR2-667 memory
R600 based graphic card as main graphic card
X1950pro as secondary graphic card
With four 20" LCD monitors Tongue

8) 8)
Do you know which games supports surround screen modes? In simulation games it will be awesome to have surround screen which can be enable with MoBo abowe Tongue

I wanna be rich

You'd better choose for a modern board with 3 or 4 PCIe 16x slots and pop in four ATi Radeon X1950 Pro cards . AGP is quite old so investing in new hardware would be more logical.

because it have multi screen function and it got both PCI-E and agp slot for X1950pro. Well maybe some ati CF MoBo would be ither option

heh sorry I rather wait for AMD's True Quad Core Opterons Wink

http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT060206035626

Anyways Intel may the fastest now , but that will change soon Wink

but those Dual X1950 Pro's are cool too, get 2 of those put the in CF and you have a Quad RV570 setup Grin

@ Mansfield

X1950pro as secondary graphic card

why not a third R600 for the Physics Roll Eyes

if you were rich that wouldn't matter righty?

The motherboard supports multi-screen function. ASRock mentions this specifically. Otherwise people would think that the AGP and PCIe connector couldn't be used at the same time.

As far as I know normal PCIe boards are able to function with multiple graphics cards as well. For example: No special motherboard is required to run 2 Quadro NVS 440 cards at the same time. This will be the same for practically any other board on the market

. So a newer board with two PCIe slots would be a better idea for multiscreen setup.

yep, I was thinking first about the system for my budget, but why not system like:
über Quad-system Grin

Quad core cpu
2x 2channel memory=8GB DDR2-800
Quad CF with 2 dual X1950pro

wow that would be the killa machine #1 Grin

Is these new AMDs going fo AM2 socket? I've heard that there will be soon first AM2+ and after it AM3 socket?? I'll bet for Intel , put you can't say nothing yet! C2Ds crushed Amd X2s because of it has 65nm achitecture. let see what happens when Core 2 Quad QX6700 and AMD Athlon64 X4 6000+(just speculation

) are in testbench at the same time
