It will phase out AGP, infact, its already begun. The new nVidia cards dont come out in AGP.

Theoreticly speaking, there is a major peroframce difference between the two. However, real world performance would state otherwise, ie barly any better.

Some might say we haven't fully utilised the power of AGP 8X. I remember there was loads of hype from 4x to 8x, but there was only about 2%-3% difference between the two.

PCI and PCI-Express are two very different interfaces. For a start PCI-Express is bi-directional.

The closest analogy I can think of is USB to USB 2.0. Though I'm hardware ignorant, so I could be talking out of my arse. :p

Although there's a distinct speed difference between USB to USB 2.0 ;). Well, i notice a big difference anyway
