New WoW Machine

Hi,

As to your video card selection-I am thinking of upgrading to the 6600GT. Unfortunately, my Asus P4C800-E Deluxe Mobo does not seem to have a PCI express slot, so I would have to go with the AGP version. Has your research disclosed any substantial differences in performance between the PCI and AGP versions of that card? Mine has not, but then I don't understand much of what I read in respect to such matters. From what I can gather the PCI express version performs only slightly better.

Your conclusions are completely in line with what I've read, the difference in AGP and PCI-e are minimal for now. Since the cost is also minimal, I went with the newer technology simply for potential future upgrades.
