I want to know if i should buy this mobo. Im lovin its AGP&PCIe compatibility but im not sure how much i trust its dependability. Many customers say the AGP either doenst work or is slow. Is this simply because there cards are different kinds of AGP like pro or is it because the board is just bad? Here is the link to the mobo. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157081 P.S: if this helps i have an NVIDIA Geforce 6200oc. thx
it looks like a half decent board, basically PCI-E is much quicker (in terms of data transfer rate) but AGP it more tryed and tested, but if it were me, i'd get it, don't believe everything you hear, but it would be better if it had ATA133 but it has got 4 DDR 400 slots and onboard sound and LAN and thankfully no onboard VGA
Some people love that board, others hate it. The nice thing is that, unlike a lot of other boards, the ULi chipset on that board has native AGP and PCIe support, not PCIe and a hack-job AGP slot riding the PCI bus (the 33MHz, 32-bit PCI bus, not a PCIe lane or two). AGP Pro slots allow for additional voltages, which high-end workstation cards have needed in the past. The PCIe slot provides much more power by default, not to mention the universal adoption of a 6-pin power connector for high-end boards. AGP Pro is independent of the AGP transfer rate. And no, that motherboard
