x600 =9600xt...pretty much.
the push on pci-e is because this is becoming the new standard...most newer intel boards are pci-e....from a marketing perspectrive, if you can get the average user using it, eventually you can force it on the market.
right now, i can get a pci-e Nvidia geforce4 5950 ultra for about $75 cheaper than the agp version...
you can't take a pci-e card and just plug it in...you would need a new motherboard as well.
