Iam thinking about getting a Hecules Thriller 8 meg graphics card. However
I don't know which thriller I should get (AGP or PCI). Is there any real
difference between them.
My Computer Specs are:
Pentium II 300
64 meg SDRAM
Any help would be appreciated.

Go with the AGP for sure if you have an AGP slot in your motherboard.

The chip is not optimized for AGP is it? Last I heard it was not, and in
that case the only thing you gain with AGP is saving a PCI slot.

If they're priced the same, go with AGP. You'll reduce your overhead,
open a PCI slot and _possibly_ increase the frame rate (due the "better" bus
and lower overhead). PCI is more marketable if you want to resell it in the
future, tho'.

I believe you are correct Charlie. I recently gained an agp slot by putting
in a new motherboard, but I won't replace my pci Thriller with an agp
Thriller, I just think I'd be stepping sideways. I'd like to have that extra
pci slot available, but I'll wait for something better to put in that agp
slot.

This is a no brainer.
If you have an AGP slot, use it.
