Asus 6800 question PLEASE reply

[alexdoom]

Hi all!

This is my first post.
i have just bought a 2.8 GHz p4 Prescot (lga775) CPU with DDR2 memory and a abit aa8 dura max mainboard. my question is: is the Asus v9999 deluxe (6800 ultra) suport PCI-Express?i know it says AGP but the nvidia site says the 6800 series suport both agp and pci-express...so? will the asus 6800 ultra work on my system?
thanks for your help!

AGP boards will only work in AGP slots, PCIe boards will only work in PCIe slots.

i know that but the bfg is both agp and pci-express. is the asus the same? if it not as the bfg then when will the pci-express version be out? before september?

No AGP card will fit in a PCI-Express slot.... so the answer is no it is not compatible you'll need to wait a bit for Nvidia to release their PCI-express cards.

The card can be had in both AGP and PCI-E versions, but currently only AGP versions are for sale. AFAIK.
The card is built as EITHER AGP or PCI-E, and you can currently buy AGP only cards.
You should soon be able to buy PCI-E only versions of the 6800 though.
