    both cyberpower and ibuypower list their ms 1029 systems as haveing x700 pci express cards, yet on msi's website and just about every other reseller's website it is not listed as being pci express.

    Does anyone know if this card is pci express or not??? I'm assuming no because i would expect msi and other resellers advertise this in their descriptions. Also, if u look at resellerratings.com reviews of both companies you get the idea that the people working at and running these companies have no idea what the heck they're talking about.

    You must be mistaken, my brother has an agp x800 in his desktop. With that said, why wouldn't msi verify their own product as having pci express???

    That's in a desktop. All Mobile versions of the X-series Radeon are PCI-express.

    However, I won't disagree that the X-series in a desktop can't be AGP. Most of the models (X800, etc) are both.
