AGP or PCI XPress

Hello,
I posted a question about GeForce 5300 graphics card but didn't get the proper reply.
My actual querry is that Pinnacle systems has recommended an AGP slot
based card but I am going to use PCI Xpress slot based Geforce
graphics card.
Please let me know if thats OK or I should go for an AGP slot based card.
I have Intel 915GVWB board which doesn't have any agp slot but PCI Xpress slot so I have decide to purchase Geforce
5300 PCI Xpress.
Please respond if any one using the same or so.

Best Regards,
Nand Kishore

You'll probably find that AGP is the minimum spec. PCI Express has a higher bandwidth, so is therefore above the minimum spec.

I'm assuming that PCI-Express wasn't around when pinnacle wrote the original text. PCI-E is better than AGP.
