A PCI-Express (or AGP for that matter) will smoke a PCI video card.

A PCI card is limited to 33mhz of bandwidth

PCI express has a 16x transfer rate between your card and Mobo(Which is the best) AGP only has 8x.

PCI-Express 16x slots are already available in place of the AGP graphics card slot on some motherboards. PCI-Express 16x video cards are at the cutting edge right now
