AGP, AGP 2X = 533 MB/s
AGP 4X = 1066 MB/s AGP 8X = 2133 MB/s AGP 4X cards will work on AGP 2X and AGP slots, AGP 8X will work on AGP 4X slots but no lower. If the motherboard doesn't support it is just wont work, nothing bad will happen. |

The only chipset with AGP 8X support that I know of is the VIA P4X333 for the Pentium 4. I don't think there are any AGP 8X cards out yet, only AGP 4X.

The new ATI card will be AGP 8x I believe. But who wants a VIA P4 chipset anyways? You'd probably get better performance by going with an Intel or SiS chipset and using "old" AGP 4x.

You're probably not going to notice any effect of 8x AGP unless you crank to some pretty high resolutions anyway. I think monitors need to catch up a little bit to truly take advantage of it, then even when it does, that GPU is gonna have to spew out your high frame rates at 2048 x 1456.
