BTW, have you looked at :

Where ECS basically uses the same setup as we, apart from the fact that they
have some additional magic to support 1.5 and 0.8V agp only, and not 3.3V as
we use. Even worse since they are based on a 66MHz pci bus, and no a 133MHz
pci-x bus, and that their bus is not fully dedicated to the slot. The article
concludes with :

  However, although the performance numbers are expectedly low, they might
  still be good enough for many users to tolerate them for a limited timeframe.

I guess the same applies for us too :)
