If you only have a P-133, it's highly unlikely that you'll have an AGP slot,
so don't worry about it, PCI is your only option.

Well, at this time AGP does not mean a thing for games. With a 133 it's no
big deal anyway.

AGP uses an extra slot for the graphics board, so it doesn't have to share
any bandwidth with other cards.

I use an AGP board as I need as many PCI slots as possible. I had a Matrox
Mystique (PCI) before, and to be honest, I can't spot any difference in
performance. Maybe I would  if I used the computer for video-editing or CAD.
