It depends where you're at on what performance you need. If you're running top-end 3D games and gotta have max detail and max frame rates, then you're ready to switch over.
If you want overall performance but not looking for blistering 3D performance, and don't believe in putting down $250 or more for a video card (or are too cheap), then AGP is probably enough.
And then there's half the PC world that buys the integrated video chipsets (according to statistics) and does not worry about it.
From your sig Iniamyen, you're already running a radeon 9800 pro. That probably puts you in the first group.
I just built a new system that still uses an AGP-equipped mobo. It's an Nforce3 board. And I put in a radeon 9600 pro. I'm in that second group and not running Doom 3 or Halo 2.
