Asus A8n SLI AGP?

[rpd162]

Just making sure I didnt miss something, this motherboard does NOT support agp video cards at all correct? Sorry for the dumb question.

Hehe no, not at all, it couldn't have the name "SLI" if it did support AGP. So no.

aj: it could support it and just because it says sli does not mean it wouldnt support agp. I think there is at least one mobo out there with pci-e and agp. so hehe don't laugh at people with simple questions you don't know the answer to. although the majority don't

Dude. The man is correct. There are NO AGP SLI motherboards. That's a fact. See NVidia's website.

There is an ECS mobo with PCI-E slots and a sort of cobbled up crippled AGP slot tacked on to the PCI bus.

That AGP slot is slow and not totally compatible.

Yeah, but it's still not SLI.

Just verifying dashiki's thought...

Thx for the info and not flamming me too bad.

I don't think the nForce4 chipset even supports AGP. There is a Via chipset that will supposedly support both PCIe and AGP. There was a post from one of the guys at Via on www.viaarena.com where he had both a PCIe and AGP video card installed in the board and they both worked. Pretty cool.

 

[DerKaiser]

Actually, Via has already announced their AGP/PCIe chipsets for the P4.

Details here.

Don't know about their plans for Athlon64 chipsets however.

I thought there was a rumour or maybe even fact of an Asus A8N deluxe coming out (non-SLI model) with just either AGP or a single PCI-E. maybe that would work.

Nforce4? It would have to be a single PCIe x16 slot. Everything I have read about nForce4 indicates no AGP support. Nvidia overview of nForce4.

I only repled to this thread because I don't like seeing people flame other people's questions like that. I never commented on the great performance that the agp/pci-e would have just that someone out there made an agp and pci-e board and that for someone to reply like haha you stupid idiot and not to give correct information is childish and ignorant.
