I have a Viper V770(not ultra) 16m AGP 2x right now, but the opportunity for me to pick up a cheap ATI Xpert 128 16m PCI presented itself last week. Whick would be faster?

How cheap are we talking about?
I doubt if you'd see any improvement with the ATI. The Xpert was a mediocre performer in 3D when new and it hasn't aged well. And if you want a cheap upgrade, hit Pricewatch for a TNT2 Ultra with 32MB and AGP for around $30.

Ah, okay.
If I had nothing else to do, and if I was so bored I was about to start reading the dictionary for kicks, I'd swap them out just to see which one of these fossils was faster.
But if there's grass growing or paint drying...I'm outta there.

I'd have to say the V770 would be faster then the ATi. This would be the V770 is an AGP card and the ATI is a PCI card.

I agree, the TNT should trump that ATI card. You may want to head over to Anandtech and look at some of his older articles on the cards.

No, not at all. At that time period though, Nvidia was better then the ATI product. The TNT2 was the card the finally trumped the voodoo cards completely. If I remeber correctly, the rage128 had image quality issues.
I currently run a 8500LE that rocks. ATI and nvidia both produce excellent 3D chips right now, but in the past, it wasn't always like that.
