I'm wondering about the performance difference between the ATI All in Wonder Radeon AGP and PCI cards. I had just assumed I would get the AGP version, but then I see PCI is a bit cheaper, so I don't see any reason to pick AGP?

Pick AGP.

For regular stuff, no difference but it does become noticable when your doign video capture and using the tivo functions. You get less dropped frames from the increased bandwidth.

Ah ok, thanks Ali. I will pick AGP, cause the tivo stuff is like the main reason I am picking this card.

AGP = 32mb DDR
PCI = 32mb SDR

i had the pci then dislike the fact that i had an empty AGP slot so i got the AGP card instead. it's a lot better than the PCI.
