No AGP X1800 Coming
According to this story on X-Bit Labs, there is no AGP version of the Radeon X1800 videocard coming after all, for now anyway. Diamond Multimedia had earlier put up an ad mentioning AGP, but the company is now saying this was a misprint. According to ATI board manufacturers could actually make an AGP card if they wanted to using a special chip, but because nobody has bothered to do so "you have to assume that the add-in-card makers have decided that the market is not there anymore".

Nooooooooooooo! I was looking forward to this as my final upgrade for my current machine. I went to the x-bit labs page and voted though. What's the next AGP step down anyways? The X800XT? My 9800 pro is getting old.
