AGP Question
« on: January 01, 2004, 02:03:15 AM »
My Gigabyte MB has an AGP 4X slot. Will it only work with the "4X" cards, or will the "8X" cards work too?
  Thanks!
If you approach from me from my 12:00 you will be unapologetically HO'ed.

Your AGP8x transfer rate capable card will run at the AGP4x transfer rate.  Fortunately, AGP8x offers almost no performance (less than 1%) boost over AGP4x with most graphics cards.
