    But we have used up AGP bandwith just yet, so really a bit pointless if you're short of money.

    PCI-E doesn't make a difference performance-wise as graphics cards arent utilising the full bandwidth of AGP 8x yet, it's just for future graphics cards which will need the bandwidth provided by PCI-E
