Does this board ASUS A7N8X support AGP 2.0 4X card? As the info I got from www.asus.com states that it is an AGP Pro/8X board (1.5V Only), which makes me very confused... Why 8X and 1.5V, why it isn't 8X and 0.8V... Most of the websites reviewing this board used an AGP 8X card... Why didn't they inform us the compatibility with other transfer modes, eg. AGP 2.0. I am quite interested in this board... but I am afraid that it doesn't support AGP 4X (2.0) mode... please help me...:)

I am running an Asus A7N8X board right this moment with an AGP 2.0 4X card. It works, it's supported, and it's the most stable PC I have ever owned. GO with this board. It is awesome!

agp4x=1.5v
agp8x=0.75~0.8v

no motherboard afaik so far supports strictly agp8x cards anyways

it even says 1.5v, which is agp4x spec so you are fine

the only thing that wont work are agp2x cards (they required 3v)
