I can understand your reasons. You could try calling a few local computer shops. See if they got some AGP cards laying around. That they are planning on throwing away. Could be worth a shot if you ask me. That way you don't have to buy one.
My new PCIe video card should be here on monday. I ordered a Radeon HD 4670 1GB. Got a really nice deal on it I think. Could not really pass it up.
