PCI Express hit the IT market late last year.
By the beginning of 2005, PCI Express was avalable for both Intel and AMD Platforms.
By April 2006, a lot of the motherboard manufacturers stop producting Medium to High End Motherboard with AGP Slots in on them.
The big questions is this, when will it be likely that the video card chipset manufacturers (ATI / nVIDIA) and the magority Video Card Manufacturors will stop producting AGP Video Videos Cards?
I don't dought that there will be some APG videos card for the next few years to come, but they are only going to be out of the market for people that need repair work done. And they will be some rather low end chipset. Eg. GF4MX4000 or GF5200 chipset.
The only reason why you can still pick up a PCI GF5700 128Mb card these days is that you have manufactures like Janton that is cashing in on that niche market that purchase cheap Persarios, Dells and Pervillions that do not have a AGP slot. However there still a lot of other cards that you can use for PCI, enhence the reason why it's there.
Not really the case with APG as APG was only use for Video Cards, therefore ulimately I give APG Video Card 3 years before they trop production of the even most basic of APG Video Card Chip Sets.
However the above poll is really there more Game Players and the People that are kicking around that current gaming rig with APG video cards for that next upgrade.
How long does APG got left in the Gamer PC Market Place?
