System Specs

If you are running an AGP system, you are most likely running PC3200 ram - Its not DDR2 or DDR3.

AGP itself only has a total throughput or bandwidth of 2133MB/s on AGP 3.0 compared to PCI-EX 4.0 which supports a total throughput of 16GT/s (Gigatransfers/s)

Even with PCI-Ex 2.0 its still 5GT/s which is leagues lightyears faster then AGP.

Long story short. the AGP system you are playing with is old and it wont turn into some monster rig by any miracle.
