Others from X1950PRO series are out too but prices are still high, maybe newegg made mistake with HIS card?

AGP, but still a nice deal for a 512mb card.

good for anyone still doing without pci-e slots, or rejuvenating old systems.

Must have been! I looked at it right after you posted and considered picking up one. Just check and it has been deactivated.

Looks like a dead deal. When I re-search it shows up at $169.99. I got this card about 3 months ago for about $190ish. You can't get much faster on AGP afaik.

Is this a better card than a Radeon 2600xt w/512mb DDR3?

I have an aging Athlon2 system that still runs great but only supports AGP. Looking for a painless upgrade that will extend the system a couple of more years.

From what little I know, I thought the 2600xt was the best "moderate" card for the $$.

Mac: As far as I know the X1950 pro is much better then the 2600XT. The newer card does support DX10 but everything I have seen shows lower performance then a 1950 Pro.

I was really wanting one of these for tf2, but finally settled on picking up a used x850xt pe. Works rather well.

StayPuff, you don't need anything more than x850xt for TF2. Unless you're playing at more than 1600x1200, but if you did, you'da already had an HD38xx or GF8800.
And, yes, 1950Pro pwnz 2600xt like a school girl. That's a hell of a deal, too. I sold my 2 year-old x850xt with VF-700Cu for $85 a couple of months ago on eBay. This is twice as fast and brand new. Talking AGP, of course.
