| 412679 | 2005-12-14 21:57:00 | Rob, you opened this up and got me wondering if there's a "small" description of the differences and values for having either the PCI v AGP......I am especially interested in the NVIDIA GForce MX440 w/AGPEX and just what is NVIDIA anyway?... Small description: They are different ways of connecting your graphics card to your motherboard. PCI ->slow AGP ->better PCI-E ->fast edit:this is just the speed it connects to the rest of the PC. You can still have a slow graphics card connected to your PC real fast :-) Nvidia is the name of the company that made the "engine" of your graphics card. In the same way rolls royce makes the engines for boeing 747s -Qyiet |

| 412680 | 2005-12-14 22:22:00 | Are they one and the same?Yes. wondering if there's a "small" description of the differences and values for having either the PCI v AGP......I am especially interested in the NVIDIA GForce MX440 w/AGPEX and just what is NVIDIA anyway? PCI will go on nearly any PC out new or old, mosts PC's have a PCI slot, same as what a modem is plugged into. PCI Speed=133 MB/s AGP will only plug into later model PC, this is a special slot on the motherboard for an AGP card. 1XAGP Speed=254.3 MB/s most cards are 4X or 8X PCI-E is what computers are being built with today. 1XPCI-E Speed=254.3 MB/s most cards are 16X |

| 412683 | 2005-12-15 03:45:00 | From the movie Bladerunner: Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down... Leon: What one? Holden: What? Leon: What desert? Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical. Leon: But, how come I'd be there? Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you... Leon: Tortoise? What's that? Holden: You know what a turtle is? Leon: Of course! Holden: Same thing. |

| 412685 | 2005-12-15 04:29:00 | Holden: You know what a turtle is? Leon: Of course! Holden: Same thing. A turtle and a tortoise are not the same thing. One is a land animal and the other seagoing. |
