AGP Pro Slot

[olin]

I was comparing some of the new P4 - DDR type boards when I came across the new Soyo SY-P4S Dragon Ultra which lists the AGP as a Pro Slot. Just exactly what is Pro Slot? Should I be concerned about any new Video Card
I buy, such as the Radeon 8500? A lot of the cards have no reference to Pro Slot only, etc., as well as the other P4 - DDR type competitor boards..
Thanks for your time,
Olin

Please read the FAQ: What is the difference between AGP4X and AGP Pro?

The AGP Pro slot just has an extra extension near the back of the case for AGP PRO video cards that need extra power, its fully backward compatible. Im running and ASUS A7V266 with an AGP Pro slot and a Hercules Prophet II Pro, so dont worry about compatibility. Hope this helps!
