The short answers:
  1. AGP is designed to be faster than PCI.
  2. No.


The web offers a wealth of detailed info on this subject.
Here are some of the many strategies for finding it.

 - since we expect LOTS of materials, we can use _narrow_ keyword
   searching.  AltaVista & HotBot offer 'field' and boolean qualifiers
   for making searches more specific.

   try
          
http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?opt=on&text=on&pg=aq
   using
          title:(AGP vs PCI)

   try 
           
hotbot.lycos.com/text/default.asp?MT=&act.super=+More+Search+Options

   using 
          Look for:    the page title     AGP vs PCI
