I can't remember what site it was on, but it said you get a whole 1% (no I didn't forget any zeros, it's 1% http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif) boost from going to 4x AGP. 1GB (4x AGP allows 1GB of data transfer) of video data is not sent out by games yet. The 2X AGP supports 256MB of data transfer (per second?). This was something I read in passing so some of the numbers may be a little off.

I meant Passing!!! For those of you who get this thread after the edit, I left out the 'p'. Sorry http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
