AGP and PCI-E and Motherboard and videocards!

[spacedude89]

ok i need a new videocard, sadly, my motherboard only has agp. so i have a choice. should i just get a top of the line agp card (agp is becoming obsolete) or should i get a new motherboard such as this:

i would prefer to get a new motherboard, becuase i want to have the ability to have the newer generation of videocards and possibly sli. Oh, it says its a nf4 chipset, but thats a nvidia brand, will it be compatable with the x1800's and stuff? Also will installing it as easy as taking my old one out and installing a new on and plugging everything back in?

Because its not as fast as PCI-E, not that they use thier full speed yet either.

Well for now, You can use AGP. But in the long term, i would reccomend Pci-e as all the newer cards will be Pci-e.
