What Does the "-X" Refer to On the Model Number?
I just ordered an A7V8X and was wondering how it differed from the A7V8X-X.
I see the -X has no raid but adds some BIOS safety nets. Besides this, is there any difference? Exactly what does the "-X" designation mean when Asus adds it to a model number? Thanks, Ric |

Exactly what does the "-X" designation mean when Asus adds it to a model number? It's a series of more basic cards for those who need a good card at a budget, and who doesn't need all the bells & whistles of the fully packed big brothers. Best Wishes Thomas |

Not sure what the implications are. -- Peter Langley |

It refers to the board supporting 8x AGP I think

It does include 8X AGP however the -X or X Series ASUS boards are sort of
bare bones systems. They include KT400 with on board LAN and sound and are available in AMD and Intel flavors. |
