Default CHAINTECH GeForce FX 5200 Video Card, 128MB DDR question

PCI vs. AGP

My sister ordered me the card above in the PCI version (from Newegg.com).
Would it be worth the shipping and restocking fee to exchange this card for
the same card but in an AGP?

My PC:
i440BX chipset, 1X/2X AGP, PIII 800 Coppermine, 384MB RAM, Win98SE, 17" CRT
monitor.
My current video card is a GeForce 2 MX 400 AGP.

I play games like Half-Life, Iceland Dale, Morrowind, Tiger Woods PGA, etc.
I also do some video editing, not much.

Thanks for all input, advice and opinions!
Joe

AGP is generally faster than PCI, particularly if the card is an 8x AGP.
If the fees aren't too much, I'd go for it.
