Hi,

The problems is the PCI BUS.  AGP bus would show the advantage in
increased memdory, but you are somewhat  "land locked"  in the PCI bus.

If your going to go new system, find one with a AGP 8x slot and then
upgrade to AGP 8x card
Then the difference will come through.

Thanks and have a Great Day!
