Default AGP ot PCI card?

I have to buy a new vidio card to run G-3. Does it make any difference if it is an AGP or PCI card? How difficult are they to install?

yea it makes a difference...if you have a motherboard that has a AGP port on it then you want to buy an AGP video card, if your mobo only has a PCI port then that's your only option.

The installation is actually easy but at some places like Bestbuy i believe they will install it for you as long as you buy the card from them.

Open up the computer, look at the 'slots' on the motherboard. APG slots are brown in color were as PCI slots are usually white. thats the quickest way to tell.
the slots are next to or near the back of the computer with access doors to the outside.
APG cards have a broader bandwidth (work faster)
PCI cards are generally used on older computers but are on newer machines

hope this helps
