Theres still a place for AGP cards
Written by John M   

 

The lack of new products for the ageing interface was rather upsetting, but yesterday AMD announced the availability of two graphics cards for this platform: the Radeon HD 3650 with 512 MB and the 3850, both of them AGP 8X.

The Radeon 3850 shouldn't be considered as a novelty and the 3650 adds some credit because it represents a chance for those who want to update their PCs but not their motherboards. If you have a somewhat old computer, it's not likely you'll be willing to spend 139€ on the more expensive of the two, but now you can opt for the other one, which only costs 89€ and should be more than enough for you to feel the difference.

Finding nVidia AGP cards is difficult, to say the least, but AMD continues to offer alternatives to buying something old and paying for it as if it were new (it's perfectly possible that someone might ask of you some 30€ for a GeForce FX5500 with 256MB, for example).
