| AGP or PCI-e? |

Quick question... If I only plan on using a PC monitor, and I have a PCI GeForce4 video card I plan to use, is there any reason why I should get a PC with an AGP slot instead of one with PCI-e? Seems like the PCI-e would suit my current needs and be more future-proof. Thoughts? |
| Timoe:
I think the Arcade VGA card that Ultimarc makes is only available in AGP, so if you wanted to hook up a real arcade monitor to your computer someday you might have problems. I know I'm having problems with this. Both my computers DO NOT have an AGP slot. |
| Ninten-doh:
Yeah, I know about the Arcade VGA only being AGP. Major con in the decision process. :( |
| hnugz:
since you only plan on using a pc monitor, go with the newest technology, pci-e. |

GeForce 4, does that even come in PCI-e ? Don't confuse PCI and PCI-E. E is the newest technology the newer MB are using. Of course the board will also have standard PCI slots so you card will still work. If your gonna use a AVGA, you definitely want one with a AGP. Tim |
