Which is best? 4X AGP or AGP Pro 50

[edwooten]

I just bought an Intel 840 motherboard, and it supports both video options... I don't know anything about AGP Pro 50... Can anyone help?

There is no performance difference between AGP4X and AGP Pro 50.

An AGP Pro 50 slot is simply an AGP4X slot with additional power pins. Pro 50 means it is an AGP4X slot with 2 additional pin bays for up to 50 watts of power for professional level video cards, such as the nVidia Quadro. There are no consumer level AGP Pro video cards.
