I saw that sollution from Intel but I'll be damned if I knew how to install that from scratch. If I understood correctly, they wanted me to get a specific version of X, then copy their... thing into that directory, and then recompile. Which sucks...

Again, it is very poorly documented and I didn't trust it, but given the fact that edgy is just around the corner... heck, why not? :) Thanks Induane!

As for the other issue, I agree that most motherboards today (unless they are laptop mobos) have an AGP slot even though they may have an integrated graphics card.

All the newer MBs come with PCI-E nowadays, it is getting harder to find AGP. It seems to be on its way out.

Really not if you by one of those $399 desktop deals from dell or HP.  Those boards come with onboard intel graphics and 3 standard PCI Slots, even now.  I've not seen a computer worth buying new for less than $700 - and alot of people prefer to buy the cheaper ones.

It does seem that there is a push on  to convert to 64bit multicore processing so all the 32 bit stuff is obsolete. Personally I think a person is best off buying the latest established tech one can afford especially at a time like this when there is a major sea-change in progress. That 32bit system you buy today for $300 could stop being supported in a few years. How long did it take for the 16bit to become effectively worthless? I am pretty sure that two years from now all commercial game will list a 64bit prcesseor as required hardware. The game may run on 32bit but the company won't support it.
I guess I am falling off-topic though.
