AGP Pro...

I have an older system with an A7V133-C MoBo and was wondering what kind of AGP cards would run on it. I see at newegg.com that they list AGP's as 2x/4x or 4x/8x. The MoBo says it has an AGP Pro Slot (3.3v) which runs 1x, 2x, and 4x, so would it be able to run a 4x/8x card?

Confusing Information to me, may be useful to you:

I wouldn't see why not. The only thing I know a 4x/8x card WON'T work on is an AGP 1.0 (1x/2x) mobo. Yours is an AGP 2.0 mobo, so I'm pretty sure that it'll work 😉 .
 
If it runns 4x, then it should support 1,5v cards. If it does support 1.5v, then any 4x/8x card should work. I say "should" as there often can be issues with certain vidcards and due to the age of that mobo it's possible that the BIOS hasn't been updated in awhile, so getting the video card you linked might have some risk.

Regarding AGP Pro, it's an extended AGP port that will support any normal AGP cad as well as cards made for Professional use. There should be a sticker with a warning over the extended part, leave it on there.
