"Upgrading" to a geforce 7 series - comments welcome

I'm right now aiming for a 7800GS+. I'd like to get an AGP card so I don't need to change the whole system. But, as AGP cards are less common people is bidding for them like crazy.

On the other side, it seems that I could get a pci-e 7 series card for a lot less money but then I have to change in cascade the motherboard, processor, etc. Something that in fact I want to do. My only concern is that maybe later, when finally I can have stereo drivers for my 3d visor on modern videocards (with iz3d, nvidia or whatever) and want to buy the latest thing in graphic hardware, then the interface could have changed again and I have to buy a new system again.

(I couldn't find those cards from Germany)

I have just ended my safari session at ebay and finally I went for cheap. I found a 7600 gt agp with 0 bids for 20 €. None else has placed a bid. :) I really wanted to try to put a 7900 in my PC and see what happens, but this one was too cheap to let is pass. Minimum upgrade for minimum price, not a very bad business in my opinion... I guess..... I hope so. :? Well, anyway, I'll post the 'before and after' benchmarks for general information once it's here.

I hope in the future I will be able to just go to my favorite shop and buy a new video card and forget these difficult days of missing 3d drivers. :evil:
