When I go to the nVidia control panel to the part where it lists your graphic card info, it says that the bus is PCI, when I know that my Geforce 6200 is AGP x4/x8.
Will this in any way affect the performance of my graphic card?

No it shouldn't affect performance. Try downloading newer drivers and see if it corrects it. Sometimes this is just a mistake in the text information linked to your card.

It's likely just the same driver for both the AGP and PCI, and when the software queries the driver, it gets PCI as a response.
I doubt performance is affected, but always look for the latest drivers from the manufacturer because sometimes if windows supports (or thinks it supports) your hardware directly, it'll install it's own driver...which will work fine, but the manufacturer's drivers WILL be faster/better!!!

AGP is swifter and PCI is slower. once you've an AGP slot, get an AGP card. some pcs don't have an AGP slot. pretty a lot each workstation has PCI slots.you may favor to run diverse video demonstrate units. in case you've already got an AGP card, then you might want to keep it and get our PCI card to run your fixed frequency computer screen as a 2d computer screen. inspite of in case you do have an AGP slot, you in straight forward words have one.

its a common problem...
the solution: locate and install your motherboard's agp drivers
i had this problem once on my comp...i don't think it effected performance but since i didn't fully stress test it before and after i don't really know.

Dos the same thing to me. It doesn't effect your performance tho.

you probably need to turn off the pci option.
