285938 2004-10-29 06:12:00 Im going to build a new pc. Im stuck between 2 things.....
CPU:
Athlon 3200+ OR
P4 3.4ghz

GFX:
AGP 8x OR
PCI Express 16x

Some people i know say that AGP is still better than the new PCI-E O.o
What do you guys think?

285941 2004-10-29 06:22:00 If you go athalon-64 you have to have agp 8x. Perfectly fine, we dont need PCI-e at all, only intel is pushing it. We have only just found the true limits of agp 4x ---- yes do ga athalon -64. if you can get a 3500+ on a socket 939 mobo fus1_n (3818)
285942 2004-10-29 06:54:00 get the athlon cpu Blue_face (1148)
285943 2004-10-29 07:36:00 If you want to wait another month or so there should be some nForce 4 boards out which are SLI PCIe capable. Sounds like the thing to be buying, or you can get the new Pentium chipset has DDR2 and PCIe if you wanted that. Azsen (155)
285944 2004-10-29 07:38:00 i wouldnt bother with pci-e at the moment, it offers no real world increase with our current gear over agp8x, save yourself some money and go for a nf3-250 socket 939 a64 system lagbort (5041)
