PCIe & AGP

yup.. pcie.. pro og magamit cya og agp.. kana nlng mobo nga pwde agp og pci.e..

Is there one here na? In US, I read there is(for older sockets).

Depende ra man sa card.... the bandwidth sa AGP for mid range to semi high end cards hasnt been saturated yet. Its just that the industry is moving to a newer standard. Naa pa may kusog nga AGP cards like 7800GS or the coming Radeon X1950. Its not really about the speed sa AGP or PCIE yet.

so u mean... maski ang pci.e 16x naa pa jud agp na mo labaw ana, bahalag 8x ra?

For me, wala pako naka-kita og old socket with PCIe.

ang naa agp og pcie?? hmm.. naa mn nah.. ang uban board.. tanawa lng.. heheh..

the AGP technology has not been exhausted yet therefore there is always the possibility that there may be faster card that is AGP based. but that depends if they are still researching on how to enhance the AGP solution.

buttom line here is that the thread starter wants to keep his current card. and that card is AGP based. he cannot put this card on a PCIE therefore he needs dual support.

so his question is more like "i have an AGP i want to keep, is there a board that will allow me to have both solutions so that i could upgrade to PCIE later?" and the answer is yes. and it's all up to him to choose between Intel and AMD.

it is not which is better.

Yes.

The 8x AGP and 16x PCI Express you're referring to deals with the bandwidth not the speed sa video card.

The PCI express bandwidth allows cards to run faster than the limits of the bandwidth sa AGP 8X. But this Does Not mean that all PCI express card will run faster than AGP. As of today, MOST video cards have not saturated the bandwith sa AGP.

I've used mga ULI dual mobos . I think its a good option for you since wala kaayoy performance penalties for using the AGP sa board. Most other dual card solutions before that reduce the bandwidth sa AGP to the old PCI speeds.

@vipvip68: i second the motion...

a 6200LE 128mb trbcache P C I E will NOT outperform a FX6600GT 128ddr tv-dvi 8x AGP

ahh...okay... na O.T na ta dah...hehee... bitaw pud... wala pa gi maximize ang AGP power... naa jud possiblity..
for thread starter... nindot jud diay ang double na Vcard for back up incase the other one will fail...
