I am getting a new system and I really have always liked nVidia over ATI. So I am trying to choose a good card but not the best...I heard about PCI-Express and wondering if I should get an OK card now and then get the best when a good PCI-E card by nVidia comes out..I just don't know what to do... on www.zipzoomfly.com I see like the FX-5700 Chaintech SA5700L GeForce FX5700 LE AGP 8X 256MB DDR Video Card w/TV-Out & DVI Retail ***Free 2nd Day***
$111.00

Please provide as much information as you can for me..I'll really appreciate it. Thanks.

Well,if you get an agp card now,you still have to buy a new motherboard later for PCI express.
If you want an agp card,dont get that 5700LE,get a regular 5700.The LE is a castrated version that is really bad.

When is PCI-E supposed to get "big" and widely used? Is it worth getting an AGP card now?
