Folding_Buddha Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 I will stick with agp for a little while, but i'm the same guy who still does not have a 64 bit system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archerzz Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Dosent the PCI -Express x16 runs 4G each way so 8G data transfer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_cow Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Im still using agp. When you think about it, its too expensive to upgrade. You have to upgrade not only your video card (and spend like 500 dollars on that) but then you also have to upgrade your motherboard and potentially your cpu aswell (if you have an old one like my athlon xp 3000) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUMaestro Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) Too poor to upgrade just yet 513933[/snapback] also - does everybody remember way back in the day when you could do SLI with matrox cards... either pci or ISA i think... but then AGP came out as a single slot and made dual-cards obselete. i'm waiting for what's after pci-e i don't see myself being able to buy anything for a few years. just starting to live completely on my own. bills suck! edit: blue_cow welcome to the exclusive windows xp/fedora4 on athlon 3000+'s club?

DECwakeboarder Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Too lazy to do it myself, but when you look at Crazy Dude's link, scroll down and go to the review of the mobo and look at the benchies, you'll see that the AGP gfx card scored higher than the PCI-E one....

Archerzz Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 It all depends on what you are planning on doing with your computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

savethedodobird Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 I still use agp cause I dont have any money to upgrade my comp at the moment. But if I upgraded now I would defianatly go with pci-e for the upgradeability down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire_storm Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Heh, When will nvidia realize that the market for agp video cards is wide open :angry2: 514238[/snapback] Well the good thing about AGP is that they are cheaper and you can get a really good one for a good price. But it is with big companies like hp and dell ect that I have noticed that there new computers only offere PCI-e and not AGP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
