I was about to mock you about this but I see several others beat me to it

I think $200 for this board is an awesome deal. AGP is not nearly as dead as Nvidia and ATI would like to make it out to be, and I think a lot of people will hold out for the next year or more before moving up to a PCI-E equipped system. I did, but only because after selling my MSI K8Neo Plat w/ A64 2800+, 1GB of RAM and 6800GT AGP, it was only another $200 for me to move up to an ASRock 939Dual-SATA w/ Opteron 146, 2GB of RAM and an eVGA 7800GT.
x850xt is pretty much the cream of the crop for AGP boards tho, although I've heard stirring rumors of ATI and Nvidia considering AGP parts of their current generation chips. Whether that'll happen or not is anybody's guess, would be a good idea financially for them IMO tho, especially when a 6800GT AGP is selling for almost $300 used on EBay!

DEAL DEAD? Link gone, rings up as $399 in stores.
Not dead, just got one in Houston - was a return on the clearance shelf, total with tax came up to $205 with the $50 rebate will bring it down to $155, plus i have my old 9800 Pro 256MB to sell - so this will come out to a VERY cheap upgrade!
Also, i know they still have over 100 of these in Kansas City and over 40 left in Houston - both places have it still for $240

I just had my bro-in-law buy me this while he was in Houston (I'm actually in St. Louis where there is sadly no Microcenter). It will be a few days before i receive it. Below is my current setup. What should i expect or will i see a difference (i.e. do i have another bottleneck that will make this upgrade pointless)?
P4 3.0c CPU
P4I865PE Soyo Dragon 2 Plus Mobo (8x AGP)
1 GB PC3200 (Geil Value Ram)
120 WD IDE HD
ATI 9800 Pro 256mb (256 bit version)
Thanks for your thoughts!
