AGP is the ONLY way to go! especially if they are only 16MB cards! you need all the help you can get!

AGP stands for 'ACCELERTAED GRAPHICS PORT'

it is designed as a dedicated channel for your video - giving you better performance.... think of video cards as engines in a car..

the PCI video card - its good it will get you from point a to point b but it isnt the smoothest ride or fastest so rate it as a 4cylinder engine....

now the AGP video - same path but your now riding with a V8 - 8 cylinder engine! your gonna get there faster, the ride is a lot smoother....
