PCI or AGP?

Yes.

There are exceptions to every rule, of course. If you knock all your games down to low detail and low color depths to maximize speed then the difference won't be as noticable. At 1024 x 768 and higher it becomes obviously noticable.

Thanks for that Xayd,
So the speed difference relates directly to the speed
of the bus{es}? Last question, how do I know then if my vid card is running at
full potential?

there are video benchmarking programs that will help you compare acctual performance with advertised performance. try THIS one.

You have a good card. If you are having performance problems, try installing more memory to your computer. I was suffering from precache lag at the start and jerky play, despite having a p3 with 933 mhz. I added another 128 ram and my problems are over.
