Which one is better? Colum 1 or 2?

They'd both be AGP.

coulm 1 has GDDR3 and and 256 memory interface, coulnm 2 has DDR2 and a 128 bit interface, and lower clock speeds, but column 1 is very limited due to the slow speeds of the APG apeture, while #2 has the advantage of PCI-e. factoring these together, i think theyre relativley the same, with #2 pulling slighty ahead.

I'd be using the AGP x8.

woh woh wait dont pick column 1 it has no info on pixel shaders?
and where is the information on geometry of the second collumn?
which cards are these?

you do realise that an agp card and a pci-e one perform equally, right? There is no difference at the moment, pci-e has higher capabilties but those aren't even used by a card with the performance in the columns above. although good ol' nVidia did decide to lower the clocks on the 6600gt agp by 100 mhz to make the pci-e version seem better.

column #1 has far better ram, despite having "only" 256 mb. the 512 mb of ram won't make any difference yet. The clock speeds are better overall, and in column #2 the last three items are hidden.

it's #1 for sure.

what graphics cards are these?

but looking at the spec, column 1 looks better.
