http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=318&name=AGP%20Video%20Cards The first thing I found in google, you can see there an nvidia geforce 7600, it's agp. The 7xxx is the last series of nvidia with agp support, 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 say I am really happy with it. But that's another story and I don't want to spoil the thread more than it already is. My only point is there there are *lots* of agp cards that are more than capable of doing desktop effects of any kind. The beryl/compiz stuff was born much before pci-e was in our houses. :) -- Jesús Guerrero
