AGP + PCI-E on one card?!?!!

[FarFarAway]

Nice little card that had both AGP and PCI-E for those who need a properley upgradeable card:

Visitors of MSI's booth at Computex 2005 had the chance to see the first graphics card that supports both AGP 8X and the PCI Express x16 interfaces. The card can be installed either in an AGP or a PCI Express slot by simply mounting it on your main board in the corresponding direction: the topt edge of the card fits in PCI Express slot, while the bottom edge fits in the AGP slot.

I think they'll be aimed at those who wanna good card but don't wanna get the whole shebang. They'll make mid-high range of em I reckon...that one was a x800 so looks sweet!
