AMD 64 vs PCI Express

[yo man!]

I'd wait for the sli at least I think it will be worth it, it's supposed to have 2 AGP slots or it can run 1 vid card at 16x.

Agreed. Nforce 4 on Socket 939. Winchesters are the better core, but a newcastle would work for you too.

yep. PCI-express is the only way to run an SLI system.

Yes, no dual agp card-least on desktop. Only pci-e will come in dual.

If you watch the little "how it works" clip, you can see the 3DMARK03 clip on the monitor... Heh.
