I've recently been building-up systems from old components. Some
have PCI video cards, others AGP. These systems are used for
computation, not for gaming, so there's no 3D graphics or
animation in use. I find that the systems with PCI video cards
consistently give clearer, sharper images of documents and line
drawings than those with AGP, even on the same monitor at the same
resolution. Is this a universal trait, that PCI is inherently
better at 2D graphics than AGP, or is it just that I happen to
have some "good" old PCI cards and some "bad" old AGP cards?
Thanks,
Greg
