does a agp pro are compatible with agp 8x card
or should i get a mobo with a real agp 8x?


AGP Pro cards are mainly professional videocards that need more power. They
get that extra power from the AGP Pro slotīs extra connectors.
Speed has nothing to do with this.
If your mobo has a slot designed for AGP8X cards, but is in addtion the
extra connector needed for AGP Pro it is obviously better that a slot that
is AGP8X, but not AGP Pro.
This will mean that with the first one, you can use AGP Pro cards (I havenīt
seen one yet, and I doubt you will as well), on the other board, not.
Performancewise the videocard, AGP8X and non-Pro, will function the same in
the two boards.
