GeForce 2 MX200 AGP, or GeForce FX5700LE PCI?

This is probably a weird question, so let me explain:

I have a dell 2400 with onboard graphics, with only PCI slots. I found an old AGP lying around, and looked it up. Decent in it's age, yes, but is it better then a (possibly) newer PCI? I could always buy a new Mobo for the the AGP, so just curious which would be better. I will be making money this summer (I'm 14) for a gaming machine, but like I said, I'm 14! I'm impatient, so I need a temporary solution.

I know that PCI's haven't been reproduced in some time, but I wasn't sure which was newer. If they gave around the same performance, then I would go with the PCI, mainly because of it's basic plug and play in my situation, but I need a new mobo anyways.

Sorry for such an ignorant question, but not only am I very new to hardcore gaming, I wasn't into computers at all un till about a year ago, so I have no idea about older cards.
