many people who stil have AGP slots will be very happy, but if you do have it then maybe it is time to go PCI-E (aka new mobo) if your planning on gaming in the future.
Yeah because I have an AGP system that's actually fine apart from the video card: Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Radeon 9800XT, 375W PSU. So I hope DX10 cards such as the 8600 come to AGP because it will be a cheap way to future proof my machine.

and you are trusting the INQ? They are known to eat their own words in the end of the day when the item does come out. Like their rumor of DX9.0L as a DX 10 based essential for XP..............

NO, its true. There will be AGP video cards. The 8600's will all have AGP versions.

OK, I believe you (somewhat) but all I can say is "Time will tell". If you are right (in this case, the so-used-to lying INQ) then it will be good for the people who are too lazy to spend at least 40 bucks more and buy a new motherboard (people, you can sell your old equipment, there are plenty of people who will buy it!).

I am not 100% sure. Also, I am sure they will cost a small fortune. Way more then if you just got a new motherboard and the pci-e version.
I don't see why they wouldn't. I mean I run pretty much every game on max graphics with my AGPÂ 850xt/pe (fear, bf2, CSS). I wouldnt definitely pick up one of those AGP dx10 cards.
i'd say its possible, don't dismiss it yet, and its not hard to do it for nvidia either, 128 bit bus and pin-to-pin compatibility same as the 7600 which exist in agp, dx10 for agp why not.
