Okay, AGP cards generally have quicker memory, take Voodoo Banshee, the PCI version had memory clock speeds of 90mhz to 100mhz, where as the AGP versions had 133mhz ram.

Personally I would get the AGP version, as you'll get alot better performance, especially in Windows Direct3D/Direct Overlay programs, as sending data over the bus is x2 or x4 the speed of normal PCI.


So I'd say get the AGP version, if your not going to use TV then get the one without (technically you can have TV out if you live in Europe and own a TV with a Scart/Euro Connector and make a custom Lead up).
