AGP and AGP Pro

Can someone define the differences to these a little? A review of the new Soyo Dragon board with an AGP pro slot said the following:

"AGP capabilities are represented by the AGP Pro slot, allowing the motherboard to deliver all the power needed for AGP Pro. While not as fast as AGP, AGP Pro provides more electricity for power-hungry video boards."

Will all agp cards fit in an agp pro slot and what is the difference in speed?

I was planning on using ATI's AIW 32mb radeon ddr 4X agp video card with the new system.

Thanks guys.

Yes, it will go into the AGP Pro slot and work fine at 4x.
