Upgrade dilemma-- get AGP 8x or PCI Express?
I'm debating whether I should buy a PCI Express motherboard (and new graphics card), or upgrade to an AGP motherboard and stick with my FX5700 for a bit. I'd be happy with PCI Express, except I'd also like an Athlon 64 processor, and there don't seem to be any AMD/PCI Express motherboards out yet, nor will there be any until Q1 2005 I hear. On the other hand, if I buy an AGP motherboard and decide to upgrade my card in a year, will Nvidia have stopped making AGP cards by then? Does anyone know what Nvidia's plans are for AGP the next year or two? Thanks for the advice and any discussion. |
