PCI Express/AGP cards

Clarifications

The newer PCI-E was meant to replace the older, slower AGP interface. I think that the systems are not compatible with each other and would require a lot of additional components to support both types.

It's not as if you would ever have cause to use them both at the same time.

PCI Express was the next move up the generation ladder, so Legacy wasn't part of the design.

There were a few makers that had both, but not many.

Depends what you want. You can still buy decent MBs with AGP, but if you want the top of the line, you will be into a MB with PCI Express, DDR2 RAM etc.

What kinds of apps are you wanting to run?
