if XGP was something new someone probably woulda posted something about it

it's probably just an AGP slot

if it is can it support a 9800XT?

That thing has got a weird pci slot or something on it.

Xtreme Graphics Port is Biostar's unique engineering solution of adding limited AGP graphics card support

From Biostar's site.

Apparently it is an AGP slot on a PCI-e board.

Different board, but still Biostar. The page has a list of AGP cards near the bottom.

Yeah, trotter is right, it's just because it has both PCI-E and an AGP slot on it, so basically it's a marketing tool to make it sound COOLER and BETTER

alright so i could put a 9800XT or a 5600ultra on there?
