The Inquirer has a rumor that ATi might be putting out an AGP version of the Radeon X850, previously set to be a PCIe only card. R481 is a R480, for the Radeon X850 with an AGP interface. ATI won't bridge this chipm it will make it nativem as ATI decided to do native chips as long as it makes sense to do so. We heard this from the ATI CEO back at Computex 2004. While I certainly would recommend those building a new system go with a motherboard featuring PCIe, this isn't a bad thing for those with a nice rig that have AGP. ATi hasn't said anything yet that I know of, but you can check out the blurb for yourself.
