IS PCI-e version on X1950pro going to run faster?
No, but as I mentioned before, with PCI-E you could have paid the same amount if not less for a card that IS undoubtedly faster than the X1950Pro.

Dude, I already said that in the short run, yes, buying an AGP card is cheaper. But in the long run you are shooting yourself in the foot.
You're going to have to buy a new CPU, mobo, RAM and graphics card sometime in the near future anyway if you want to continue gaming on the PC. So why is later better than now? If money is so tight that you dont want to have to pay for a new platform, then why even bother spending $300 on something that is going to be useless to you anyways once you are truly forced to upgrade.
You're only delaying the inevitable and it's costing you more money in the long run then you care to believe.
An XBOX360, Wii, or PS3 would be a much better investment of that $300
