I was looking at a shuttle cube PC barebones kit and it said it has a PCI Express x16 slot and not an AGP slot. I have been out of the computer loop for a while so I searched for an article on the differences. Pretty interesting.

AGP VS PCI

Gisel, I was looking at the picture page and I do have to admit, you look pretty good for a gaming female. Having said that, don't expect any sympathy when we meet on the battlefield. I am a fighter first, lover second.

My next upgrade of a video card will be a MB/vcard combo. I like the new Nforce 4 chipset that comes on the ASUS PCIe MB. PCIe Video card are cheaper but the motherboards are $200+ at the moment.

The barebones system I was looking at was a P4 system anyway so I would still stay with Athlon 64 most likely. Very cool case for a mini/box system.

Stick with nVidia and you can dual them! (one is at 4x bus speed though right now, but watch those MB specs for it to increase on the second PCIe slot...)
