I'll go for the AGP version then, i was a bit worried the AGP version wasn't supported by the windows driver, i read somewhere the AGP version of the sis card didn't work with the sis windows driver.
I am using a VGA to SCART cable already with my cirrus laguna card and advance mame, works very well.
: 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).
