You may want to do a full reinstall of your graphics card/drivers and see what that does.

What is saying it is pci? The GeForce4 Ti cards only come in AGP, so I doubt there is anything to worry about. What drivers are you using?

Run 3Dmark, and if you get a really low score, it's running in PCI.

Check in your BIOS to see if there is a 'Primary Display Adapter' option. Set it to AGP and not PCI.

Also, make sure your card is running in AGP 4x(if applicable).
