Hehehe, yeah ive seen the screenshots and demos, Ive just posted the movies in the Misc. games forum.

Anyway Albromor, im assuming that you will want to keep this PC for a while, at the momment PCIx isnt all that much faster than the normal AGP systems, but it has been predicted that AGP motherboards will be gone within 12-24 months so if you willing to spend a bit of money it would be wise to go with a PCIx system, but if your not going to be playing Unreal 3 and all the latest games and running your system to the max, you may still want to go with AGP, as test have shown, the PCIx motherboards and video cards have only had a small % of a performance increase over the AGP systems, so its up to you, tell us what kind of stuff you want to be doing and I might be able to help more.
