Ironically, my latest computer uses AGP because there weren't any PCI-e cards I could use :) Now that I have it, I can't upgrade without replacing the mainboard, and once I do that I'll want to replace everything anyway. And probably go with Intel for the graphics, instead of AMD/VIA like I usually do. (You hear that, AMD?)

You're right, I wouldn't buy a new graphics card twice a year. I would buy one once, though, and I wouldn't mind spending several hundred euros on a high-end card that comes with full specs. I'm just not willing to budge on the spec issue. There's something deeply wrong with someone who wants to sell me hardware but refuses to tell me how to use it. I can't help it that all of the usable cards can be gotten for $20 on eBay, it's up to the manufacturers to change that :)
