PCI-EXPRESS or AGP ?

[MisterGoof]

I'm looking to upgrade my home PC soon. I've been looking at mother boards but can't decide whether to go for one that supports PCI-Express or AGP.

I'll be buying an NVIDIA graphics card as I run Wiindows and Linux.

Has anyone got any decent links to comparisons of the tow, or experience of either / both

PCI-EXPRESS

AGP is being replaced by PCI-express so I would go for the newer standard - doesnt seem to make the gfx cards significantly more expensive.

Re: PCI-EXPRESS

They do use PCI but Apple users don't care what graphics card they have. They simply use the one that came with the box.

6 or 7 years later they will think things are getting slow but then they will simply buy a new machine.

If yours does then does then your concept of cyber sex has gone a bit awry.
