AGR & Sli

Dr3w · 21-June-05, 01:03 PM

Well ive been looking into going 64bit, but i also noticed good pcix vid cards are expensive and i dont feel like buyign a cheap one and gettign a better one later on, so i was wondering i know some boards now are being made with agp and a pcix slot, but is there any agp and 2 pcix slot mobos ? for sli (future use), and if so does the agp port being there make it slower or soemthing ?

Via's chipset with native AGP and PCI-E is the only one with a hope of going SLI...if Via chooses to do that. Unfortunately SLi and AGP probably wont see face to face on a motherboard becuase of the trend of moving on. Manufacturers have probably gone with the notion of "If you can afford SLi, why waste space with AGP?"
