im pretty sure my board supports PCI-E but is this better than AGP 8x ?

im thinkin of getting a new graphics card which should i get for about Ã,£70 ?

i still dont think it matters performance wise unless you are going right to the top end cards.  However it matters for compatbility.  Mark has a _very_ nice card for sale in the For Sale section, andits at a bloody good price.

I may be wrong, but I dont think there are many if any boards out there which support both, so if youve already chosen your mobo then you need to go with whichever it has.

If you havent chosen your mobo yet, make sure it has PCI-E since AGP is dying fast.

Asrock did one for a while, but after i was forced to use one I would say they are utter junk.

Yes, PCI-E is better. There is a pretty much exclusive range of cards for it at the top.
