M misterfatal Baseband Member Messages 100 Mar 23, 2005 #6 well, now i found out my comp has 3 PCI slots, and 1 AGP2, what is AGP2?
M misterfatal Baseband Member Messages 100 Mar 23, 2005 #7 also if it is a AGP 8X/4X, will that work with AGP 4x/8x video card? or will i have to get a AGP 8x card??

R Rayne In Runtime Messages 143 Mar 23, 2005 #8 AGP 2.0 is AGP 8X/4X and it does exactly what it says. You can have a 4X AGP card or an 8X AGP card. I would get an 8X though, they are pretty cheap now anyway.
