Which mobo. supports AGP8x

[kmd]

I plan to buy a new system. I need to know which chipset supports AGP8x... Or is it entirely different? :roll:

amd/intel ?

Almost all mobos now support 8x. 8x is on its way out. PCI express is nearly here. If u're going for AMD, check out the nForce 2 400 chipset. Nothing else comes close. And if u're a Intel fan,...well, what can I say, get anything u like. All Intel platforms suck.

Absolutely right! naga.... Infact all the wrong speculations made about AMD such as its not stable, it heats up are wrong....infact its very overclocking friendly.

Btw i've a query of my own....since doom3 has been released so i'm thinking of a major sys. upgrade. Can anyone plz tell me whether is there any AMD motherboard supporting PCI express tech. as i've planned to go for nvidia geforce 6800 which is PCI express based graphics card.

The geforce 6800 is AGP 8x right now, nvidia has plans to release a pci-e based 6800 soon. As of now there is no AMD mobo which is gonna support PCI-E but the nforce 4 will and i think the K8T800Mpro chipset is also going to support PCI-E.
