Well the PCI express will have more bandwidth than the AGP version.
AGP 8x - 2Gb
PCI express - 4Gb

Although the X800 PCI isn't out, so I wouldn't worry about that one for a while.


GeForce FX5200 128Mb

Asus A7N8X E-Deluxe

Heard on some sites that PCI Express motherboards will be at at the end of June or July, PCI Graphic cards should be out the same times the motherboards are out

But how long is it gonna be before they become mainstream, when most games today dont even utilise AGP*8 ?

These cards are just barely hi end today and most of 'em don't even exist on the market. Mainstream for them is a year or so away...I'd consider the 9800Pro class mainstream now.

radeon 9800 pro with 128 megs (agp) is the top of the line right now. Every game (besides farcry ) is extremely good on it.

peace
