it may be faster than agp8x atm, but it's still serial to the processor, so if you have more than just a video card in your PCI-Express buss they will all be sharing the same path to the proc, slowing everything down. Serial is now and forever will be a bad idea
personally my next machine will be built when Nvidia finishes their NForce 5 chipset which supports IGP (Independant Graphical Port) or wait for NForce 5pro which supports IGA (Independant Graphical Array) which will be used for the gen2 of SLI cards
