Anyone have one? is it worth the money?
Also, what is the advantage to PCI Express? Is it that much faster than AGP8x? am i just gonna get left behind if i dont go with the PCI-E?

First, you need to have a PCI-Express motherboard. If you don't, you either upgrade the motherboard or stick with AGP 8X. Second, yes PCI-E is much faster than AGP 8X.
