Are the pcie slots faster than the agpx8? ok, i was looking at getting a new video card and the agp version is $50 more than the pcie version. I could get a motherboard with a pcie slot for $50 and get the pcie version, or get the agp version, which would be better?

PCIE is better and pretty much the new standard. But if you currently have an AGP board, you're not going to notice THAT much of an improvement. I would say just get the AGP one.
