Sapphire Readies HD 4650 AGP Accelerator
Sapphire announced its first Radeon HD 4000 series accelerator designed for the legacy AGP-8X interface. Available in 512 MB and 1 GB variants, the Sapphire HD 4650 AGP uses the RV730 GPU clocked at 600 MHz, with the 128-bit DDR2 memory at 800 MHz. It uses a single-slot design, with a simple fan-heatsink for the GPU. A peculiar part about the PCB design is its 6-pin PCI-E power input. Hopefully a Molex cable tides over this. Outputs are care of two DVI-D and a composite connector. The cards have started being listed on online stores, priced at 72 Euro. This card isn't the first of its kind, with PowerColor having recently announced a similar accelerator.

PCI-E V1.0 is deader than AGP, IDE *cringe* those cables are horrible, omit them from my motherboard! 32bit? DIE, KILL IT NOW. The sooner XP dies the better! Office 03? No opinion...
Games patches? Keep 'em coming, I hate legacy tech being drawn out way too long, but I love old games.
