That's a very sneaky attempt at advertising... >_>

Oh well. I'd get it for my aging AGP-based system, but my PSU is utterly terrible.

well a new PSU is in order. Im sure a nice 450wt PSU will be fine. Around $60-$80 for that. Antec has the sweet spot for that area for good PSUs too.

Yeah, but I'm sure my old 3GHZ P4 HT will bottleneck it.

Come to think of it, are there really any processors on AGP motherboards that won't bottleneck it?

...Wow, that's kinda odd. I'm amazed there's a market for them.

Thats ASRock for you tho. They have a lot of quirky things. Even PCIe/AGP setups for 939 for AMD. Altho they stopped those.
