The 6800 (and all AGP cards above the FX) dont support 2x, only 4x and 8x so they dont have the 2x slot, only the 4/8x. This prevents them being inserted in an AGP 2x motherboard. So no, not all AGP cards are compatible but anyone with an AGP 2x mobo aint going to need a 6800gt  . |
Okay thanks. So all AGP 8x will be compatible with modern AGP motherboards, the difference is just backwards compatibility with older version?
