AGP and PCI slot performance

[Guest]

I own a Dell Dimension 2350 with Intel Extreme Integrated Graphics. Does
the 2350 have an AGP slot? And what is the difference in performance of an
AGP slot and a PCI slot?

Thanks,

Karl.

Using video for standard computing and displaying and working with images
such as 50 meg digital photos in Photoshop a good pci card will work well.
For gaming, an agp card might be a better choice. Myself I'm using a Radeon
9100 pci card on my Dimension 2300 machine with 384 megs of memory and it
works fine manipulating 60 meg images in Photoshop elements.

No, it doesn't have an AGP slot.

Depends on the specific card. Most high-end video cards are unavailable in
PCI format because of bandwidth issues.
