I'm assuming its true but I was hoping for a confirmation to make sure. Are the new 8x AGP slots backwards compatible like its predecessors were?

AGP 8x
http://www.pcbuyersguide.com/hardwar...ata-agp8x.htmlAlso known as AGP 3.0, this development support data transfer rates of 533MHz and 2.1GB/sec bandwidth. Like its predecessors, it is a 32-bit wide bus. Although early reports suggested that AGP 8x would forego backward compatibility with previous AGP incarnations, some motherboard manufacturers have implemented a 4x/8x switch option in the BIOS that allows the use of either standard"Last edited by iq_132; September 10th, 2002 at 00:23.

Nevermind, I was looking at the Asus A7V8X but its like $60 more than the A7S333. And the A7S is SiS and not VIA, so I think I'll go with that one.

Tell me though,
I think I want this board...

But there is also this one

Which would you suggest? I'm told SiS is the better chipset. The problem is I cant seem to find one of the former without the onboard audio and I really despise onboard crap.Those who hope in the lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles.

Well, I cant find any of the latter without Audio either, oh well I guess I can disable it in the bios. I just hate doing that cause it can cause other complications. Although its probably better than my old SBLive Vaule so maybe I'll try it out.
