| N-Hoe-yd | I'm looking at building a new rig and I'm thinking of going with a Intel Dothan Mobile. But my problem seems to be that the DFI motherboard that supports this chip only has AGP4x because it uses a older chipset. So I'm wondering how much of a difference agp 8x makes over 4x. I mean from benchmarks I have seen and whatnot this chip on the dfi board can easily blow away a FX-55 with some tweaking. So I would really just like to know what the differences are between 4x and 8x. Thanks ahead of time.

| Mastah Overclocker | Supposedly todays cards are not able to use the bandwidth provided by AGP 8x, let alone the headrom built into PCI express. I don't think it will cripple your scores if thats what you are wondering..

This was a serious discussion with someone asking for help, I didn't see the humor in your comment... Next time try and make it funny, then we can laugh with you, and not at you
