Are you sure its 32 MB DDR VRAM, and not 64 MB? And yes, it is AGP 4x.

Does not seem like too bad of a deal, but make sure its 32 and not 64... I'm pretty sure it came standard with 64 MB.

It's only a fair deal if you want to carry around 100 pounds of computer equipment. Frankly, that just isn't a very good portable computer. However, if you've decided that portable computing no longer appeals to you, it is a good deal.

For reference, I got about $1900 USD for my Ti 800 in January off of eBay.

It looks like a good deal to me.
