Don't bother upgrading the motherboard you mean? Just get there card?
BTW i didn't know you posted here shep.


I'm all over M8
I mean that AGP 8X has nothing to offer over AGP 4X in real world
graphics speeds however there are other reasons to upgrade a mother
board like USB 2/Larger hard drive support/RAID etc which are more of
a consideration than the make's hyped AGP 8X.
Get the video card.Leave the mother board until you need one

I'm about to get a new graphics card but my motherboard only supports x4
speed. The card i intend to get is agpx8 (fx5600). Will the bottleneck

be
a noticable problem playing games?
Shall i upgrade my motherboard before i get one? How noticable is the
perfermance increase from x4 to x8?

Thankyou all

Don't bother.AGP 8x has been surpassed by the video memory on your
video card.
