SB - Don't buy on fear. So what if your sys breaks down? An AGP card (if you wanted to stick with AGP) like that will always be worth something for resale. Anyone still on an AGP system would totally want a board like that, so to liquidate it after the fact would be easy.
Couple that to ATI's 3 year or 5 year warranty on their boards (Did you know it was that long? - I even RMA'd a 9800 AIW not too long ago and they replaced it! - no questions asked!), and your buyer will know full well they have a long life ahead for the product.
