stephenob 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 agp is on every thing now, pci is crap, agp=accleerated graphics port, pci can only handle 2d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mohit-vohra 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 Well i think u should go for an AGP slot...beczuse by default a pc does hv 3 pci slots...which are more than enough...for say ur lan card...ur sound card...In addition u can get one additional or maybe two agp slots.

x CriiTiiCaL HiiT x 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2009 PCI Express FTW.But, on old mobos, AGP is the better way to go. It's faster and allows support for better cards (y) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
