The first thing I found in google, you can see there an nvidia geforce |
| 17 |
7600, it's agp. The 7xxx is the last series of nvidia with agp support, |
| 18 |
though in some parts it's quite difficult to find one. |

You can also see an ati radeon 2400 there, I own one however I can't |
| 21 |
say I am really happy with it. But that's another story and I don't want |
| 22 |
to spoil the thread more than it already is. |

My only point is there there are *lots* of agp cards that are more than |
| 25 |
capable of doing desktop effects of any kind. The beryl/compiz stuff |
| 26 |
was born much before pci-e was in our houses. :) |
