Would a newer highend video card with a PCI (Not PCI-E) interface perform better than a lowend AGP VideoCard?

The video cards in question would be:



ATI Radeon X1600 Pro (PCI Interface)

vs.

ATI Radeon 7000 (AGP Interface)|||The PCI will be MUCH faster in this case. There is also a Nvidia 9400 GT PCI card.

But there are much faster AGP cards like the Radeon 4650 and 4670, that are faster than the 9400 GT PCI

4670

If you have a high resolution monitor (22" or greater), get the 4670 because it has GDDR3 memory, while the 4650 only has GDDR2|||agp is faster than standard pci.
