hi, i was comparing video cards and i was wondering which card is better.. ATI Radeon 9000 64MB Video Card or ATI Radeon 9200 128MB AGP Video Card??? I am thinking of buying one .. and which one will give the best performance on my pc? i have a amd 1700+ 384 mb ddr ram.. asus A7V333 mobo.. and i was also wondering.. which graphic card out of those 2 has the best compatibility with games.. also.. what's the difference between PCI video card and AGP video card.. is there any difference between the performances or is it the same???? thanks to all who help me..

There is a lot of difference betweeen a PCI card and an AGP card. The PCI bus runs at 33Mhz, the AGP bus 66Mhz. So the AGP bus can shift data at twice the speed and doesnt have to share the bus with other devices like the PCI does.
Therefore the ATI Radeon 9200 128MB AGP is the better option. More memory is better for games. Allows the Graphics card to take some of the load of video processing away from the main memeory and CPU so it can get one with something else.
