^im just saying from personal experience PCI-E is faster lol btw when is the new AGP gonna be released? i read about it a little while after PCI-E came out
*waits for xelinks awsome reply* btw xe mad props man u know ur sh*t you wouldnt know how to check on memory timing? cause my comp has been restarting whenever i run high memory usage programs (like c4d and PS at the same time)
you can check your memory timings either in BIOS or through a utility such as CPUz(note the link) as for AGP x16, I think I heard it mentioned before, but in full seriousness I would know nothing of it. It sounds plausable and all, but I don't see it happening, PCI-e 16x would have twice the available bandwidth of it(the 16s aren't directly compareable) and the system buses of the two would perform more or less on par with each other, games would be within 1 or 2 frames of each other on either platform(and if it holds up as it is currently the single frame would most often got to AGP with some exceptions) BUT, that wouldn't be able to make up for the simple fact the PCI-e is already n established standard, the technology for it is already in place, and AGP has the limitation of only having a single video slot while in PCI-e you can use multiple(albeit it isn't very economically plausable yet unless you're comparing cards on the extreme high end) and that's all I can say, I have no evidence to back any of that up as it's more or less based of guesses of how the systems work. I don't design chipsets and motherboards and again I'm just going off of logic and past knowlege. as for why AGP has a minute almost imperceavable performance advantage, my guesse is that since there is only one slot for data to go to and from(as opposed to a shared bus for PCI-e which is connected to other PCI-e slots) and it's easier to optimize and a lot of other factors don't need to be taken into account when designing it
