Geforce4 4600 8x

fit? the physical size of the APG 3.0 slot is the same as AGP 2.0.... As for the AGP speed, all AGP 8X cards are backwards compatible whit agp4X....

Saying you need a AGP 8 board whit a AGP 8X card is like saying you need a DDR 400MHZ board to run 400MHZ chips.... You can turn down the speed yourself.

Then why is my agp slot on my ASUS A7N8X deluxe longer than the agp slot on my old motherboard it even has a tab to remove before placing in the 8x graphics card so it fits.

You must have a wierd board then becuase none of the A7N8X boards that i've seen has a tab of anny sort or a larger AGP slot than the AGP 2.0 and 3.0 size...



Thats a stock A7N8X board, can't see anny tabs or a larger than normal AGP slot there....

edit: figured i should add, ASUS conforms to the agp 3.0 standard whit all it's AGP 8X boards, i own a AGP8X asus board and theres no tabs or larger slot on that.

ALL AGP SLOTS ARE THE SAME!!!! WE WENT OVER THIS!!!! THE SPEED IS DETERMINED BY THE BIOS ON THE MOBO.


4x 8x or even 2x is a software thing not a hardware.... sheesh.... if there is some extra tab its for locking the AGP card into the slot(completely useless) and thats it... but they will all fit fine.... Just dont try and jam it into a PCI slot...

[Zatrais]
