AGP and PCI-E? by
Lexusan
I've heard different stories about AGP and PCI-E...some say AGP is better and faster...others say that PCI-E is better...
The question is: what is the truth? How much, if any, performance increase would you see over identical cards, one being AGP and the other being PCI-E?
