VZaknaril Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hmmm, I said that already Tofu...though I didn't really elaborate as well as you did. So the statement that AGP is equally as fast is incorrect, as Tofu stated. I haven't played a game where I need the full-duplex feature, but I imagine it will be a requisite sometime in the near future... http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m83/qalsip/zak1_demo.jpghttp://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sf/type/2/zaknaril.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirNuke Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Since PCI-e is full duplex, the max transfer rate is 4GB/s both ways. Theoretically, the total max bandwidth for PCI-e is 8GB/s. However, most (even high end) cards can't max out the AGP's bandwidth. Hence why the dual-core graphics cards (like the 7950) are able to perform almost as well as SLI-ing two single-core cards. That being said, I wouldn't get a new motherboard with AGP. Zing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VZaknaril Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Depends on what you want to do. And it's not just the amount of RAM, but it's clock speed as well. For most of your basic systems 1GB is more than sufficient. For a gaming machine I'd suggest 2GB (as well as a good video card). http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m83/qalsip/zak1_demo.jpghttp://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sf/type/2/zaknaril.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
