You got them confused, PCI-E is better than AGP, and right now, PCI-E prices are starting to fall under AGP, which means AGP is starting to get replaced.

I use PCI-E personally because it gets me ready for the future.

Currently Agp(not x8 but 4), upgrading to pcie

How do you upgrade to Pci-e, if your PC does not have slots for them? How much would it cost?

you would need to buy a new motherboard which has PCIe, plus maybe a new processor if the socket is different, plus a new graphics card which is pci-e compatible. if your sound card is pci, you should be able to install it on your new mobo cuz it'll probably have pci slots too.

I recently bought a Radeon x850XT just so that I can play Oblivion whenever that game comes out.

I really don't have to money to buy an whole new rig, and frankly I don't realy need it neither. I guess I wait another year or two and then buy a AM2 system when the prices drop a bit.

Edit: For spelling.

Edit2: Twice.

Just picked up this AGP card.

**rayzzz** · January 22, 2006, 08:12 PM

sorry not upgrading but replacing everything, getting a new comp soon....

I'm using a GEFORCE 6800 GT AGP card. Seems AGP is rapidly becoming obsolete.

**PyrrhusIV** · January 22, 2006, 08:37 PM

I use PCI-E, they are more advanced and are the way of the Future. Besides, my GTX is PCI-E 16x, so yeah.

**Guderian** · January 22, 2006, 09:26 PM

I use AGP, only because upgrading both my motherboard and graphicscard to PCI-E would be expensive.

The same is valid for me. I am going to upgrade the graphics card and I will try to have an AGP again from this reasons.

A PCI-E Motherboard and Graphics card will not cost that much! Besides, PCI-E is much better performance wise than AGP could of ever been. Besides, AGP is outdated.

I have my AMD 3400+ here and an AGP (Asus K8V SE DEluxe) board. My ATI Radeon 9600 XT will surely be replaced with MTW2. The only question is whether I will change my board too, because I think that my processor speed is currently allright.
