AGP is obsolete and no longer used. PCI is used for shit like sound/network cards. PCI-E replaced AGP as the graphics socket.

I use the e6600 on my comp and its an amazing processor! I'm also running an 8800 GTX... but all my stuff is BFG. I also use the bfg 680i sli motherboard and this thing runs soooo smooth! I just love BFG so much because of their lifetime warranty and their great 24/7 tech support.

Speaking of new computers, I just got one for my birthday. This is what I have in minemother board/processorhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Search ... LT31664cpu fan (I do NOT recommend this at all)http://www.compusa.com/products/product ... _Coolervid cardhttp://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.a ... eo_Card200 gb harddrive I got for $60 at compusa. I couldn't find it on the siteAnd a case fan my friend gave me which I need to go out and get another one thats bigger.I got most of my stuff on sale or with rebates so I think it was alittle under $500 for all of it so far. I still need a mouse and keyboard and some disc drives. I'm using old ones right now and it is really annoyingCurrently I'm formatting the hard drive and installing windows...for the second time. I think I need a new copy of it b/c it seems to have a smudge on it and will never copy the RMCast.sys which I'm not sure if thats even needed
