If you buy that system and it has no AGP, let me know. I have a low end PCI eXpress card I can send you.
128MB and can't be OCed but it'll be free and 100x better than the onboard Intel junk.

right now they are about the same but PCI eXpress has tons of room to grow. AGP doesn't have much left.
Even if you're buying the fastest video card right now (one of them $600 jobs), it wont matter performance wise if you choose AGP or PCI eXpress.
I was offering the PCI eXpress card to you since the onboard intel video is really really really really bad. Even for a simple game like Halo.
If you don't plan on gaming at all, then you'll be fine with the Intel video.
