Be very carefull when looking at video cards, there is a new kid on the block 
to replace AGP - It is called PCI Express (PCIe for short). With a projected 
bandwidth of 8GB/s, it is much, much faster than AGP and makes the old PCI 
bus look like a snail in comparison. Of course, it goes without saying that 
PCIe is totally incompatable with PCI slots just as AGP is with ISA.
