i am using a asus p4s8x-mx motherboard....it has one agp 8x slot....is there any technology out there that i can change to pci-e slot so i can use a pci-e vga card....:confused:

certainly just change the motherboard with the pci-e slot is the most simplest way....but i just bought it about one year....sign...:(
 
I can't see there being anything because the buses are totally different. Even if there was, it'd probably be just as cheap to get a high-end AGP card. Besides, it's not like you'd get any performace increase

probably you are right....it may be rational to get a high-end agp card...

but thanks...at least i know there is no such thing to change agp to pci-e device:)
 
I can't imagine it being worth going that route. PCI express Mobo's aren't that expensive. Whatever you spend on an adapter, if it does exist, could be better spent towards a PCI express Mobo. Furthermore why would you spend money to go backwards to get a better AGP card? Makes no sense IMO Why not just get with the program and get yourself a PCI express MoBo and a PCI express card. Even if you just bought the AGP MoBo maybe you can sell it on Ebay or something to get back some of your investment. :confused:

well...i am lazy to get a new pci-e mobo and re-build the computer..^^"

also...i may have to get a new cpu, ram and psw too...it is true that i know asus has a mobo that support socket 478 cpu and ddr ram with pci-e slot.....but it is a really basic model though.....so i think just get a agp card may be a wise choice
