DX 10.1 for AGP computers

Peter G. 6 Nov, 2007 at 2:21pm ET Article published in Tech

Spring forth burly protector! AMD is posed to bring a grain of hope (and DX 10.1) to those of us still using AGP graphics cards. Rumors suggest the Radeon HD 3850 will have an AGP variant.

I agree too Prime, still funny s**t from Thrax.

I started pricing out a new PC build for next summer. (Got the OK from the Boss (wife, well in 53 days she'll be my wife)) to build a new machine.

Anyway, I started pricing stuff out, and adding 15% to the prices, since next summer's hardware will be better, faster, more Uber......

... I stopped when the price of the computer I wanted to build exceeded the value of the Mustang GT I have sitting in my driveway!!!

Unless my family has a windfall of some serious $$$$$, I think it will be many more months before I embark on a new build. Dare I say I might just buy a XPS system from Dell, with an extended warranty.... (even more )
