I'd be surprised if someone makes a standalone card. There's just not a 
large enough market for it. There are only a few graphics companies vs. 
several that work with expansion buses like PCI.

Look at renting since you're probably not going to need the AGP 3.0 
analyzer long term.

and similar cards can be used along with a logic analyzer to look at bus 
activity since you're just interested in finding out if you're getting 
activity on the bus.
