So, I've recently built an early Windows XP machine that originally I was going to have dual booting with Windows Me. This last part didn't work out, but since I have already a few other machines running Windows 95 and Windows 98 it doesn't matter too much.
Anyway, the motherboard I'm using has both an AGP 8x and a PCIe 16x slot. At the moment I'm using the AGP 8x slot for a 9600xt, but I also have a 6800GT PCIe that I could drop into the system. Since I'm playing mostly games from 2000-2004, the 9600XT has a few issues with the later titles and the 6800GT would bring a nice increase in FPS, but I don't know if there was any compatibility break with the change of slot. I assume that since the 6800GT also had an AGP version, it'll probably still work fine for those late Windows 9x titles that launch on XP, but I'd like to be sure.
