PCI express will leave AGP in the dust -- but the market and software necessary to use it isn't there yet. Plus, there is the additional investment of the motherboard that supports it -- it's not going to be a cheap option. There will probably be a slow transition to serial ATA, PCIExpress, and the new motherboard format (BTX?) over the next couple of years.
The best thing about 2004 and video cards is that second-tier models from manufacturers are getting better and better, and they are the ones most people can begin to afford.
