Hi Frank:
I think this is a case of "to each his own." I just don't like being a
cutting-edge technological guinea pig. I like to sit back and see which
way the wind eventually blows. 
AGP video is another technological "advance" that looks good but is
still at version 1.0. I'll wait for the bug-fixed v1.1.  :-)
Have a look at an interesting article on the x2 / K56Flex / v.90 state
of affairs at Boardwatch magazine's Web page:
