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. TRUSRS85 schrieb in Nachricht
