5900 or 9800

are the 6600's AGP or PCI Express? (does PCI express have it's own port?....i havn't researched it much)

PCI-express, and yes its a different port... kinda obscure for now, it will be standard before too long

They are PCI-E for now, but will have the AGP Versions released end of November, beginning of December, around in that area, right before christmas of course so they can make that money

Like leonidas said though, right now PCI-E isn't fully utilized, but when it becomes standard it'll be twice as fast as AGP 8x

i must say however that all ive seen says even the highest topend cards dont need the extra bandwidth pci-e gives.

 

[melcher88]

Does PCI-E seperate from PCI, or do they utilize the same port?
And if they're different ports, how much would a board cost with it on there?

PCI-E are seperate from the PCI slots. they have great difference in speed between those two.

PCI-E motherboards aren't that expensive. it's just that most of them are only for Intel's P4s, not AMD. I think i heard they created amd PCI-E mobos but i ain't sure.

 

[Nvidia fan boy]

The Nvidia Nforce4 boards are meant for AMD. These chipsets will also support the Nvidia SLI as well.

Abit has released the AX8-3rd Eye.
