Funny how there are a LOT of modern machines out there that are sporting modern processors (quad core territory) that have NO pci-e slots. Thanks to OEM's being cheap-asses, there's a lot of eMachines, Compaq, HP, Dell, and several others out there that no way to upgrade the grapnics. I've got an old Core 2 Duo E8400 media center PC that has 2 PCI slots, and that's it. You either use the onboard video (absolutely horrid SiS IGP) or shove something into a PCI slot and push on. Or if not for upgrading the onboard, possibly adding a 2nd video card for multi-monitor setups on systems that only have 1 PCI-e slot. There really is a market out there. And to the poster that commented "surprised there's no AGP version", I completely understand why there's not. NO new systems are manufactured with AGP slots. However, PCI is still everywhere.
