verry awseome indeed! I just orderd one my self

now you have less of an excuse "not" to upgrade to AMD 64.

can use a cripled AGP or a full pci express!

wish these had been findable about a mouth ago!

why is agp crippled?

He means on that motherboard I think. It's one of those AGP-on-PCI implementations. I would hardly call a proper AGP slot crippled.

You about lose 20+% performace, But it does allow you to use an AGP card untill
you can afford to upgrade to PCI express. But also it aprears you can use them
both at the same time ...

I've been searching around newegg and found some other nice S754 boards with PCI-E 16x

Looks like my "upgrade" will be A LOT cheaper then I thought.

AGR....lol

nice idea, they did the same with intel, exept it was 775 cpu/ agp

leekirlew · Apr 23, 2005, 09:58 PM

is it really worth paying the extra for a x800xt pe over a x800xl, isn't the xl a great overclocker? Why not wait til the next generation cards?
