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.
