Video Transcript

"Hi I'm James Adams I'm here on behalf of expertvillage.com and now I'm going to proceed to talk about AGP video cards. AGP video cards are not volatile but they are kind of older but, they are good for games. Newer games require PCI express but you could still get around with AGP video card. Now this is a sound card but this is a PCI sound card and this is a AGP video card. This is old. Notice the difference on the sockets right here. The PCI has two like little slits right there where the AGP only has one but, they are the exact same length that is because when I explain before a PCI slot looks exactly the same as a AGP slot except AGP slot is brown and it always about a inch if this is where the PCI slots are the AGP would be about a inch behind to kind of differentiated. AGP if you are thinking about a AGP video card more then likely your need for video editing or games. If you are thinking about video editing its worth the money and maybe don't pay more then a hundred bucks for a AGP video card. You don't need more. If you are a gamer and you have a AGP video card and you want to play games its not really worth spending $200 on a AGP video card you mightiest well save the money and a year from now get yourself a brand new .... processor and a good video card. AGP is still good but its showing its age and from all the stuff that I read about games performance and stuff AGP wont be around for much longer. Actually it is not in production anymore. So AGP to upgrade you AGP video card there is more of a option of I got a 120 bucks I want to play some games my video card right now is old and I don't want to buy a new computer I need something to get me through about a year a year in half maybe, maybe with real luck 2 years. So think about what you want to do when you want to upgrade a AGP video cards. It is a good old technology but it is showing its age. "
