PCI ? , or do you mean PCI-e? becaus PCI cards are really old, and totally suck.
I'd go for the PCI-e card, PCI-e mobo's and cards are not expensive anymore

yea, i mean in my old comp i had a PCI and it did the trick...it really depends on what your tryin to get out of it per se....like in my new comp i have a PCI-E 7600 GT....but cards rank PCI ==> AGP ==> PCI-E...

hope that helps ya...

yes but he may be talkin about 2 types of outdated technology here...in my old comp my motherboard only had PCI slots....not even an AGP...he may not be able to get a cool new up to date computer right now so is tryin to make the best of what he has...and may have AGP and PCI slots....and not a PCI-E....and he is lookin for help....thats why there is a poll on this.

If that's the case, Craig1998, you need to elaborate more in your post so you'll get helpful responses instead of "WTF!? OMG!? PCI and AGP?!"

before you go dropping money on a gfx card....you have to make sure your motherboard supports a PCI-E card....does it have a PCI-E slot?

Take your pick, they have a great selection of cards, and are pretty cheap. GL

PCI - Express is cheaper and faster... unless you are really thinking about getting a PCI be ready to throw down some dough in order to play bf2.

yea your motherboard CAN NOT support a PCI-E card....so look into a high end AGP card like the Nvidia 7600 GS....from what i understand that is the best AGP card you can get out there....unless someone knows something i dont with is very possible.  Personally i suggest an AGP card....look into that 7600 GS though....its like $200

I think the best AGP card available is the one I have, the Gainward Bliss 7800GS+. Unfortunately if you're asking this question to increase your BF2 performance I would point out from your thread elsewhere that your CPU is a socket 478 (?), again not the latest technology and this could seriously bottleneck your system.

Personal opinion, save up and buy a new PC.

good point....thats why i upgraded my whole system this summer and just built myself a whole new rig.  But yea i see you have the card so you would know better than i would....i had an old 478 socket with only pci slots....and board could only take a gig of ram....so i was at a huge disadvantage when it came to playin bf2.
