ok this might be a kinda noobish ? but w/e. do u need a specific qualifications for ur mobo to use pci express cuz i heard there twice as fast as agp ie agp=8x pci express 16x??? so do u need anything else really other than a nonretarded comp and a free pci slot???

Hi,

YES!

PCI-express is a different slot to the standard PCI slots. Therefore, only newer MoBo's are fitted with one (if at all, as some still only have AGP). A PCI-Express graphics card will not physically fit into a standrd PCI slot (and it wouldn't work, even if you filled the card down with a nail-file so it did fit! :) )

Compaq X machines are great, but you would need to pull a budget of about 2500usd to get a good one, otherwise you could get one for 1200usd.

Hey everyone

I read that in pc gamer that the pci express slots have little effect on gaming so I dont think im going to opt to build a whole new system just for that.

Yes, your motherboard needs to be able to support PCI Express, you can add a PCI Express card to a motherbaord without PCI Express capabilities. Most new high-end mobo's offer this.
