SAM and other new hardware - missing modern graphics card slots?

[Tripitaka]

AGP may be dead but I can still buy a new  NVidia 6 series card with 128Mb for less then £25 from dabs or novatech. Sure floats my boat more than a ancient Voodoo card.  :roll:

Unfortunately NVidia won't give anyone the developer doumentation required to write drivers, so you won't be able to use it in an Amiga. You can get Radeon graphics cards as plain PCI (I have a Radeon HD 2400 pro PCI card myself) and NVidia cards too.

Do you really think that they should waste their time developing hardware with AGP when PCI-Express chipsets are available? I certainly don't.

 :lol:  hell no! I got an SLI rig for a PC and I'm deeply dismayed that I can't have an amiga even close in terms of power graphics. I was just making comment on the "AGP is dead" posts. AGP cards are available at Dabs and Novatech and I don't see any Amigas on their websites. Does that count as dead yet?   :-D
