Found two graphics cards I want, both GeForce 4's, one is 128MB SDRam AGP, the other is 128MB DDR Ram PCI.  Im wondering which one would be better!  Both are the same price...

If these are your only choices I would always go for the AGP card

Ok thanks, so the AGP one with SDRAM will presumably give a better FPS than DDR

It all depends on the card. SDRam is the older technology and generally slower. I have the 4400AGP and am very happy with it but if I where to buy one right now I would prob go with the ATI 9800Pro (thus not the cheapest)

AGP is always faster than PCI

Not necessarily true. If you have crappt Ram on the card, the best Interface does not do anything for you.

Before you get an AGP card check that your motherboard has an AGP slot, believe it or not not everybody has one.......
