Oh gee great, keep pushing a now out of date and dying standard.

PCIe is the current gen, and classic PCI is fading fast.

The reason is availability.  PCI is where ISA was 5 years ago.  Have you had any luck sourcing new ISA cards lately?

Actually, PCIe is far easier to impliment than AGP, hence why you'll notice that companies flocked to it a lot faster than they did to AGP.
