The likely success of this board will rest on how cheaply it can be found in the retail market. If prices are well above the Radeon 9000 PRO boards, or others of similar performance, then the questions have to be asked, does the inclusion of DX9 specifications warrant the extra price premium? Will DX9 titles be available in a worthwhile time span? However, if the price comes down to something close to that of 9000 PRO then the modest performance improvements along with the added extras of AGP8X support and DirectX9 make this a more forward looking choice...
