Just two simple questions =>

Q 1. Will an AGP 8X G-card work on an PCI-X mobo ( If not, WHY?)

Q 2. Will an PCI-X G-card work on an AGP 8X mobo ( If not, WHY?)

PS. I know that I have asked one of the questions before also but nobody properly answered !!!

Neither an AGP card fits in a PCIE slot, nor a PCIE card fits in an AGP slot.
Thats their interfaces (pin) are different.
Don't be upset , an AGP card loses out to a PCIE of the same chipsets by inches.[/b]

Sorry, you cannot install your 5700 AGP card on a system based on the following chitsets:
Intel 915 for P4 5**
Intel 925 for P4 5**
nforce4 for AMD Athlon64.
(AMD Athlon 64 can also be used on mobo with nforce3 chipset which has AGP slot)


:!: Inorder to use your older card in your new system go for 865 or 875 chipset based mobo for intel.
:!: Go for nforce3 if you prefer AMD 64
:!: Go for nforce2 or 3 if you prefer AMD Semprons.
