I will not know nearly enough to give a fair yay or nay...but I see that this has both AGP and PCIe. My personal opinion is that AGP is becoming old news in the gaming world and that the PCIe slot is the only valid slot for today's top of the market vid cards...based on what I think I have learned on IW and read elsewhere...I could be wrong...but I do not think you'll need that AGP slot, so why buy a card with it, unless you intend on using an older card.

Hope I am not too far off track with that one...
