Video Card Questions

[Memo_182]

I recently bought a new FX5200 video card and I noticed it was AGP4x/8x. On my mother board I forgot it was AGP Pro. My question is if I can still use this card?

[SLICK RICK]

Do you know the exact mother board you have?

ASUS P4B533-E. I looked through the website but it wasn't much help.

Isn't AGP Pro just another name for AGP 2x? Or is it 4x?

[Memo_182]

The AGP Forum (agpforum.com) says it's an extension of AGP4x but it also lists differences.

[mujahid7ia]

maybe you should try it out then. maybe the video card will run in AGP 4x mode.
