I think there is an exception to this. I think its safe to say you can get the newest most expenisive video card out if its the last one there'll be. Take the agp for instance. If you must upgrade, you might as well get the BEST card out there to last you awhile before you have to upgrade your ENTIRE pc again because of the transition to PCI 16
I have AGP, and the 7800GS isn't that much better then the 6800GT, and I'm not about to upgrade my ENTIRE system to play one game. Ill wait till the unreal 3.0 engine is out, Duke Nukem 4forever, Longest Journey, Halflife expansions, ect... which will all be out this winter supposedly, after which i will build the greatest conceivable machine known to MANKIND!
Warning: Duke nukem is subject to change its dates release and so it will be that i will not wait till this comes out.
EDIT: Bokishi, your rich, how about you buy me a custom 7900GTX AGP card! I'd love you for it!

Dude that's impossible. The reason the 7800 GS isn't much better than the 6800 is because the AGP can't handle more power. But if I could I would, don't get me wrong.
