appalachian_fox December 13, 2005 Share appalachian_fox Member December 13, 2005 I have an AGP card that, when God said, "Let there be light," it turned on the switch. OOOOOH! OWNED!!!! Seriously, it ain't no VESA Local Bus, but I'm cheap and lazy and stick to my older strategy games and FPSes usually. I would love a PCI-E card...If I got a whole new system to go with it.

Terribleone December 13, 2005 Share Terribleone Member December 13, 2005 i am the only one with a pci-e so far wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsblood December 15, 2005 Share Wolfsblood Member December 15, 2005 Leadtek px6600GT TDH Extreme pci-e. Supposedly the fastest 6600gt card made (at least it was last January, lol) Hopefully I'll be getting another one this Christmas and SLi them. Dunno if I'll notice anything with the gfx, but I figure if my wife and I end up with a kid on the way by next Christmas, upgrades may be few and far between after that so might as well go as far over the top as I can when I have the chance, lol.

mookie December 15, 2005 Share mookie GC Alumni December 15, 2005 If you don't know, odds are you have AGP unless you bought your machine very recently. Basically PCI-x is just a different type of connection, which allows for much faster data transfer between the video card and the rest of the machine.

wayfarer December 15, 2005 Author Share wayfarer Member December 15, 2005 Wow, I thought there would be more PCI-e than this! And I have AGP & I did'nt evev vote! (hit wrong button by accident & nulled my vote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfsblood December 16, 2005 Share Wolfsblood Member December 16, 2005 Yeah but the gfx card and mobo makers tell us this new fangled thing is uber better, so we gotta buy it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie December 16, 2005 Share mookie GC Alumni December 16, 2005 Supposedly they'll use it someday. Somehow I think it'll be a while before PCIe 16x is too slow though. That's around 16gbps right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barter_Town December 17, 2005 Share Barter_Town Member December 17, 2005 I've got basically the same card as wayfarer. ATi X850. Mine is PCI-e though. Teh future is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacher December 17, 2005 Share Preacher Member December 17, 2005 If you have no graphic problems now then PCI-E is a waste of money, by the time AGP cards are completely useless the PCI-E will be the old technology and something else will have taken it's place.

Goofus Maximus December 22, 2005 Share Goofus Maximus Member December 22, 2005 Still stuck in AthlonXP/AGP-land myself, with an eVGA 6600GT AGP card. Alas, saving for dental work for over $1600-worth of seriously rotted teeth comes first. Anyone know a good cheap (free) Prosthodontist? Near St. Louis, MO? I just wanted 'em pulled, but even dental students have this moral objection to non-esthetic solutions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
