Hardware Isuues

HI Guys!

I am gonna buy a new system & I have a few questions!

I will try to put em all here:


1.Is there a motherboard from intel that has slots for both , agp & pcixpress?

2.When buying a pciexpress card what has more significance...ie. Is a card with higher speed but 128mb better or one with slightly slower speed but 256mb more value for money?

3.I was thinking betwen 3 cards a)chaintech nvidia5700fx 256mb pciexpress card costing some 170$ or a b)ati radeon 300se pci exexpress 12bmb or c)3d labs wildcat vp880 pro costing some 350$.

What I mean is what is value for money!

If I am willing to spend that much what should I go for nvidia(pcx), ati(pcx) or 3dlabs(agp)


I know its too many questions ..user added image


Thx a lot!
