I know very little about graphics card. I know that I need a new one though.
My budget is less than £200 ($365).
My computer is a 3 year old dell, so it takes only AGP cards (as far as im aware, i checked the current card and it has 2 slots of nearly equal length).
I have decidied on the following graphics card.

I have 2 questions. If you notice the title it says "AGP" where as in the details it says "Bus: PCI-Express". How can it be both AGP and PCI? I emailed amazon... they told me in their pawnish style that they provide the information given to them by the manufactorer and that was all that was available.
And for the second question. On overclockers.co.uk, they have what looks like a similar card and there is no conflicting details. Can you tell me if this is the same card?
