I made the unfortunate mistake of ordering a PNY GeForce 2 MX400 PCI instead of an AGP... my question is: Is it worth the 3 months the RMA is going to take to return it for the AGP model, which costs a whole $11 more? I've currently got a POS Xpert2k (ATI Rage 128 i believe)... I havent seen a article that isn't 3 years old concerning AGP vs PCI, so I figured I'd ask in here... DID I BUY A PAPERWEIGHT?
Thanks,

You bought a paperweight! The MX400 uses data at about 4x the speed of the PCI bus. Plus, AGP gives your video card direct access to system memory. It's worth the long wait to return it.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

AGP is much more faster then PCI, so I would considder returning it.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground :eek:  .
