Ok I want a PCI Express card since its faster then AGP... Problem is I cant find a motherboard that supports it... Or is it just an upgrade on the PCI cards themselves and not the PCI slot on the mobo... Someone tell me something please...

PCI Express is set to replace the current PCI bus, as well as AGP. It will require a new motherboard but it is backwards compatible with older PCI devices.

IS it only supported on Intel Based boards as of now... I found a few boards that support it but all are P4 Boards, none are AMD...

Nope no AMD boards yet. I think it's supposedly going to be available on the nforce3 (or is it 4?) boards

Must be 4 since 3 is already out... I need some money... I want to upgrade my comp... Actually make a new one basically... I want one of those Cube cases, a nice graphics card... A P4 for once... Maybe a Sata hard drive... Maybe a source of income could make it happen...

Keep in mind that you realize no performance increase with PCI express right now, and you won't until at least this Christmas, probably even longer. So you can be free in holding out on your upgrading and saving the cash for the newer boards and cards when they come out and are actually going to give you an advantage over your AGP 8x slot.
