How come the latest graphic card didnt use PCI Express ?
Is more faster isnt?

PCI express gives more headrooom for better graphics, but for now games don't utilize PCI express 's capabilities. So for a while you won't be able to tell the difference in games played on AGP or PCI Express.

PCI express is sure to be expensive when it comes out , so why pay more for something that won't perform any better on games on for the next 6 months.

When I build a new computer it will be one that has an AGP and PCI Express on the motherboard and it will be a socket 939 motherboard. :cool:

It's a good processor for the money.My only complaint is the heatsink and fan aren't very good and the processor can get pretty warm.

I play KOTOR, but I can't really help you on the settings because I've got a MX440 which has oly 64 megabytes of memory and only allows me to do 2x Anti Aliasing and 2x Anisiotropic filtering. I'm going to build a new computer in the next several months and it will be an Athlon 64 with a X800Pro. If I'd already built my computer I could be of some

Besides, as long as you've got a 1.5 GHz or higher proccessor it doesn't make a lot of difference what games you play or what the graphics settings are, it all depends on the video card. That's why I can't give you a good comparison because your card is vastly superior to mine.Now upgrading from a celeron to a P4 Northwood which has a cache twice the size of a celeron you will see a difference in game performance.
