The 4850 is faster and cheaper

Not really universally cheaper (may be $5 for Asus), but definitely a better buy than GTX. It seems AMD is kicking some serious butt

The 4850 has significantly better 2D acceleration & video performance too.

I can't recall... aren't the 4850's and 4870's a little shorter. I searched and can't confirm...

lol @ #10
I think Tomshardware had an article about best AGP card too here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaminbaconraphics-cards,1965-5.html
Notice: Radeon still makes some AGP cards including the HD3850.
Also notice: rest of the article is way off in comparison to bensbargain prices, but still supports the 4850/4870 right now as everyone else does.
/gets me some nice amd marketshare
