373412 2005-07-19 04:44:00 im looking at upgrading to a nvidia 6600 256MB agp and im not sure if my comptuer had agp4x or 8x. would there be a noticable hit on the performance if i pluged it into a agp4x slot?
although i should mention that im currently running a geforce4 MX440 64MB
so the difference between the 2 shoudl already be like night and day, imho.

373413 2005-07-19 04:48:00 Whats the brand/model of the motherboard??

That'll tell u whether it supports 4 or 8x AGP.

But if the mobo supports 8x and the card is only 4 it'll only run at 4x.

373414 2005-07-19 05:32:00 No. Xbitlabs did a test that showed that very few apps or current games use much more than AGP 2x. The later processor on the card will have more effect. PaulD (232)

373416 2005-07-19 08:15:00 An 8x card should work but only at 4x. Speedy Gonzales (78)
