P4S333 doesn't work with Geforce 5200 or any AGP x8 cards!

The Asus P4s333 motherboard has a serious problem when it comes to
graphic cards that has agp x8.
you can all read the problems mentioned in the link below:

I personally tried 5 different cards and NONE worked! This is totaly
insane. The cards we

Gainward geforce fx 5200 128 ddr agp x8
Gainward geforce4 128 ddr agp x8
ST Lab geforce 5200 fx
Palit Daytona geforce 5200 128 ddr 64-bit agp x8
Palit daytona geforce4 128 ddr agp x8

Asus claims the problem is with the low power supply from the psu
(mine was 300watts), but other users, as you can see from the link
above, have power supplies of 400+ watts, and it still doesn't work!
the problem is the chipset. the SIS 645 cannot deal with these new
graphic cards, and no new BIOS version is in sight.

This is all they had to say about this issue:


Dear valued Customer,
Thanks for Contacting ASUSTeK.
in theory, the board can support this vga card. but because this vga
card is
high level, we think the power issue is the issue point. please
use one more powerful power supply to verify this issue.
Thanks for choosing our products very much.


ASUS, you totaly disappoint me!
