Since graphics are not such a big deal to me, I haven't been keeping an eye on
the issues. I know that PCI Express was tipped to be something to watch, but
that was a good while ago. Since I haven't seen much mention of it recently
I wondered if it was another thing that hadn't lived up to the promise. The
last thing I want to do is spend a couple of hundred pounds only to find that
an agp card with lower ram would have done the same job.
Well I am no graphics nut myself. But I try to keepup with all genres of tech, and to the best of my understanding PCI-E is to AGP what AGP is to PCI. So a well reviewed PCI-E card should be a sound buy. I generally check http://reviews.cnet.com/ when investigating purchase of tech hardware that I am not too familiar with.
Peace.
