I have been a follower of ATI for a long time but i hear that nVdias are quite good b/c they have 24 pixel pipelines vs 16 on an ATI. however, i was wondering if there is a card of either brand, or any other for that matter, that was a better bang for the buck or costs a bit more but the improved performance justifies (sp?) the extra cash. here is what i am looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16814102542R

Also, i see some of more expensive cards with AGP and PCI and PCI Express. isn't AGP an old standard that is far slower than PCI and PCI express? should i go with a cheaper card but with PCI express?
