    well since AGP has not been fully thrown away by all consumers,i'd say 80% of production of direct x10 gpu's will be PCI-E and the other will be AGP...

    Believe it or not, AGP is -just now- acting as an actual bottleneck. Looking at current benchmarks, the AGP version of semi-current cards (see, x1600PRO and 7600GT) are showing maybe a 2-5% performance loss when ran against their PCI-16x cousins.

    So, my point is: PCI-E is going to be around for a long long time and you shouldn't worry about a new interface coming around to replace PCI-E any time soon.
