copied/pasted from the October 26 news:

As there is no final statement about the availability by the vendor, we
currently investigate the possibility of using an alternative controller
chip. If the use of this alternative controller chip would be possible, the
Cyberstorm and Blizzard G4 processor boards would be shipped equipped even
with an AGP port, thus allowing to use a wider variety of the lastest and
fastest graphis cards.

Now, I see "investigating", and "if" in there. A search in IBrowse for "agp"
comes up blank on the specs page. Please copy/paste your "we are definitely
doing AGP" statement from their web site. I don't mean to sound like I'm
trying to argue about this, but I would like to know where they said this, as
I've seen too many "if"s there to believe it's definite yet.

And have you allheard, Hyperion are porting Decent Freespace now. Man, cool
things are coming our way...
