I think at the lower end of the scale like a 16mb 2 x AGP vs a 16mb PCI card there would be very little difference but when you start to compare a 128mb PCI vs a 128mb 4 x AGP card there would be a much bigger disparity in performance. See here for a comparison http://www.cs.umd.edu/class/fall2001/cmsc411/projects/agp/pci_vs_agp.htm In this case for Gorka , I mentioned these upper end ATI and nVidia cards ( for a GigE anyway )because he sounded like he wanted a big increase in pixel pushing power.
