Ive heard or read on a techy site that there is a adapter card of some sort so you can get agpx8 on motherboards which only have x4.Any info on this would be of help,rather than having to get a x8 m/board.Many thanks.
 
I couldn't think so, infact I wouldn't be surprised if it is technically impossible
 
agx8

Hi thanks for the info,but im sure i read about it on one of the tecy sites.Maybe youre right.Suppose i'll have to get a new mobo then.Would i notice any difference in game etc having x8 rather than x4?
 
it would be impossible to push agp8x bandwidth through an agp4x slot. that'd be like having usb1.1 and getting a usb2.0 'adapter' for it. no such thing. it's limited to the slowest part.

besides, there' no real-world difference between agp4x and 8x. maybe in a year or three we will start seeing real differences. keep your mobo.
 
Many thanks for advice.I won't be buying another mbo then.
I'll save me ££'s for something else.Thanks

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
