I've also been looking at the same cards.
WaRMaN raises a good point about the 4x vs. 8x AGP, but HOLD YOR HORSES!
I also read in the March '04 issue of PC Mag that later this year a new standard called PCI Express will replace AGP, the bandwidth is supposed to run at a theoretical 4GBps (about twice as fast as an 8x AGP).
The good news, if you were thinking about upgrading to an 8x AGP motherboard, wait and get the new PCI EX.
On the other end of things, once that is released, you'll see all the prices of these AGP cards take a nose dive, and you should be able to pick one up for a song.
